Orange Bread

The recipe today has been adapted from a cook book by 'Puffy Muffins.' It's easy to put this bread together. Nevertheless, there is much to speak of the texture and moist quality. Nice and closely grained texture soaked in the oranger flavor where every bite bursts with its orangy tang. It's a housewives dream where effortless preparation renders tasteful treats.

The first time I heard bread and saw cakes lined up instead I was confused to say the least. Apparently, there are a lot of breads which are made with ingredients for a cake. Baking powder instead of yeast in these breads are the difference. Also, like in the banana bread recipe the important fact to remember is not to beat the ingredients. Only mix them till they are blend together.

The recipe has been adapted as aforementioned from a cook bookowever. I changed some of the ingredients to my liking and it works well.
