Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent the bread from sticking. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar. Beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Once done, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the freshly grated orange zest and orange juice into the bowl, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix to combine. -
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, sift the Vivatta Maida (all-purpose flour), baking powder, and salt. Stir to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the mixture forms a smooth batter. -
Add the Fruity Mix-ins:
Gently fold in the coarsely chopped cranberries, tutti frutti, and chopped almonds. Make sure everything is well combined. -
Bake the Bread:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve:
Once the bread is baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. For the best flavor, store the bread in the fridge overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and intensify. The next day, slice and serve with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice and avoid using pre-packaged juices.
- If you prefer a lighter bread, you can substitute some of the butter with yogurt or applesauce.
- Store the bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh for up to 3 days.
This Orange Cranberry Tutty Fruity Bread is a delightful combination of citrusy sweetness and crunchy texture from the almonds and tutti frutti. Perfect for gifting or enjoying as a snack, this bread will surely impress anyone who tries it!
