Title: Fresh From The Oven
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup buttermilk
– 1 cup mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries)
– ¼ cup turbinado sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
6. Gently fold in the mixed berries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the batter for a sweet, crunchy topping.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the loaf pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice the bread into thick slices and serve warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
Enjoy this “Fresh From The Oven” bread as a delightful breakfast treat or a cozy snack with your loved ones. The burst of mixed berries combined with the warm spices will surely make this bread a family favorite. Happy baking and savor the joy of homemade goodness in every slice!
