Orange Cappuccino Quick Bread Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease (or spray with nonstick cooking spray) one 8 x 4-inch loaf pan.
• If greasing pan, dust with flour and tap out excess.
• On a cutting board or plate, remove peel from orange.
• In a medium saucepan, heat half-and-half over high heat just until it bubbles around the edge of pan.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in orange peel and instant coffee or espresso powder.
• Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Discard peel.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• Set this mixture aside.
• Stir together coffee mixture, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a separate small mixing bowl.
• Make a "well" in the center of the flour mixture.
• Add the coffee mixture all-at-once to the well, tossing with a fork just until dry ingredients are moistened.
• (Do not over-mix.)
• Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean--approximately 60 to 65 minutes.
• Carefully remove from oven and place on hot pad on counter top to cool slightly.
• Loosen loaf by running spatula or knife around sides of pan.
• Turn loaf out onto baking rack to cool.
