Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 0.75 cups Fresh raspberries
• 0.75 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting berries)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, toss the raspberries and blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them lightly. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf during baking.

Step 7

Gently fold the floured berries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to crush them.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Slice and serve the Raspberry Blueberry Tea Bread on its own or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
