I love this bread. It's great to make in a mini loaf pan and add to a gift basket. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
3/4 cup sugar |
2 eggs, beaten |
2 teaspoons grated orange rind |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup orange juice |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
2 1/2 teaspoons orange juice |
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Cream butter; gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating well. Add the beaten eggs and grated orange rind; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with 3/4 cup orange juice, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix well after each addition. Stir in pecans. Pour batter into a greased 9x5x3 loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool loaf in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely.
2. Combine 2 1/2 teaspoons orange juice and powdered sugar; drizzle over loaf.
3. Wrap and store overnight before serving.
