Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 0.5 cup strong brewed coffee
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Mix in the orange zest to distribute the flavor evenly.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, strong brewed coffee, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.

Step 8

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve the Orange Coffee Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
