Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Tangerines (zest and juice)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Tangerine juice
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and tangerine zest using your fingers to rub them together. This releases the natural oils in the zest for extra flavor.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, eggs, tangerine juice, milk, and vanilla extract to the sugar and zest mixture. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve as is, or enjoy with a smear of butter or cream cheese for added indulgence.
