C Coffee Can Bread
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
– 1/2 cup dried fruit, such as cranberries or raisins (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15 oz coffee can with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the plain yogurt and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
6. Fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruit, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the greased coffee can, filling it about two-thirds full.
8. Place the filled coffee can on a baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
10. Once baked, remove the coffee can bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the can for 10-15 minutes.
11. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the bread to loosen it from the can, then gently tap the bottom of the can to release the bread.
12. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
