Orange and Lemon Bread


1 Orange and 1 lemon
3-4 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cups oil( I use corn or vegetable oil, if you like use unsalted butter at room temp.)
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/3 tsp salt
3 cups all purpose flour

 

*Preheat an oven 350F, gease the loaf pan.
**In a bowl, stir and toss together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
***In another bowl, beat the sugar and oil with an electric mixer, add finely greated lemon zest and greated orange zest, cut the lemon and orange and squeeze half inside the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
****Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture along with the milk. Beat until blended (with low speed) and smooth. Pour the batter inside the pan and bake, 45-50 min. (until a toothpick comes out clean)
*****Remove the bread from the oven and transfer the pan to a wire rack. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 min., then turn the loaf out and let cool completely.
Eat good feel good!
