Ingredients
- 1 stick Butter, At Room Temperature
- 1 cup Raw Cane Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Orange Zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 cup Sour Cream
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325. Spray 9x5x3 bread loaf pan with cooking spray.
Place butter and sugar in bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed for 5 minutes, until mixture is light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, and beat on medium speed after each one. Scrape down bowl. Add orange zest and vanilla, mix on low to combine.
In small bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add 1/3 of dry ingredients to butter mixture, and stir on low until barely mixed. Add half of sour cream. Stir again very briefly, just to incorporate. Continue to alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream into creamed mixture until all flour and sour cream are incorporated. Do not over mix!
Spread batter into prepared pan and place in preheated oven. Check after 55 minutes, and continue to cook in 2 minute increments until a pick inserted in center comes out clean. Once removed from oven, let it cool completely, and then remove from pan.
