Recipe #24: Zesty Raspberry Loaf


I'm back! After an insanely long departure, I'm trying to get back into the baking groove... So with no further ado!

Ingredients

*2 cups all purpose flour
*1 1/2 tsp baking powder
*1/2 tsp salt
*3/4 cup sugar
*1 egg
*1 1/2 tsp vanilla
*3 tbsp vegetable oil
*1 tbsp orange zest (or lime or lemon)
*3/4 cup milk
*1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease 8x4 loaf pan.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, powder and salt.

3. In a large bowl, mix together sugar, egg, vanilla, oil and orange zest until smooth. Mix in half of the flour mixture into the large bowl, and mix in all the milk. Then add the second half of the dry mixture until just combined.

4. Mix in raspberries and pour batter into pan. Bake for about an hour, or until a tester comes out clean.

Voila! I will try not to let my baking lapse for so long again!
