Raspberry Almond Bread
From choclytcandy 15 years agoIngredients
- 3/4 cup whole almonds, unskinned, toasted shopping list
- 2 cups fresh raspberries, about a 1-pint basket shopping list
- 1/4 lb unsalted butter, softened shopping list
- 3/4 cup sugar shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1/2 tsp almond extract shopping list
- 1 3/4 cups unbleached white flour shopping list
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, preferably freshly ground shopping list
- 1 tsp baking soda shopping list
- 1 tsp baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 tsp salt shopping list
- 1/2 cup milk shopping list
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Chop the almond into small pieces. Sort through the raspberries, but DO NOT rinse under water.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the almond extract.
- Sift the dry ingredients together.
- Whisk the milk and creme fraiche together. Alternately incorporate the dry ingredients and creme fraiche mixture into the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Gently stir in the fruit and nuts.
- Spread the batter into the loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour. The bread will be lightly browned and a skewer inserted in the center will come out clean when done.
- Variation: For a delicious winter variation, substitute 1 cup dried apricots for the raspberries. Cut the apricots into small pieces and plump them in 1/2 cup hot water. Drain any remaining liquid before adding them to the dough.
