Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Have made this over and over1 It is yummy and my 3 little nephews love it! I have made this as mini loafs and many times as muffins, sprinkling sugar over the top before baking. And always use the all the zest of one orange. Try it!

Excellent. As someone suggested, I increased the orange peel. Am also making double batches now because it's so good.

This recipe is absolutely delicious. Next time I make it I am going to double or triple the recipe because I have only a bread loaf size pan. I increased the grated orange to one teaspoon. Best when eaten fresh. Didn't like it after one week as it lost flavor.

This has a great taste. However I do not like the flat apprearance of the loaf. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get a better rounded top to the loaf.

I made it as one slightly larger loaf instead of the two tiny ones.

Awesome bread...I love it. My husband is always dieting so I substituted orange fat-free yogurt for the butter and it turned out great!

Made this bread today with fresh rhubarb out of my patch.....Very good.. Nice and moist and flavorful...I liked the orange zest. It's a keeper. Also, there is just the two of us so the small size is perfect.

A very good recipe. I did not have rhubarb on hand so I used golden raisins and walnuts ...but it was great!

Doubled the recipe; for sugar, used 1/2 white and 1/2 honey powder; grated peel of one large orange; toasted pecans; baked in two 8x4 loaf pans for 45 minutes.....turned out perfect! Very moist, and not too sweet.
