List of Ingredients
1/2 cup sweet butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup milk
1 lemon zest (thin outer skin), grated
1 oranges zest (thin outer skin), grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/3 cup sugarRecipe
Cream the butter with the sugar in a large bowl. Beat the eggs and add to the creamed mixture. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Mix the orange juice and milk. Add the liquids alternately with the sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir the lemon and orange zest into the batter. Butter a loaf pan 11x4x3 inches. Line the bottom of the pan with waxed paper and bake in an oven preheated to 325ƒF. for 45 minutes, or until the bread springs back lightly when touched in the center. Combine the lemon and juice with the sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Brush the bread with this icing as soon as it is taken from the oven. Cool in the pan. Orange juice bread is especially good for breakfast, or spread with thick butter for afternoon tea.
