Orange-Blueberry Loaf

by Irene Lindvall


It's bowling Tuesday so that means I'm baking. I've baked three weeks in a row for bowling night and it seems like there is no end in sight. I pretty much do it to have people sample what I've made because I cannot be left alone with an abundance of baked goods. After some partially uncooked loaves using my LeCreuset loaf pan I tried a disposable tin pan and the loaf came out perfect. I initially cooked it for 60 minutes and the center was still not coming out clean so I put it back in for three minutes more and it was clean. A couple of things that came out a little off: it was more crumbly than I thought it should be - I think because the pan was not the size the recipe requested, and the overall taste of the loaf was nothing to write home about. I think it was a fine loaf, but not amazing. I think it tasted better with coffee or tea, but alone it doesn't have as much orange taste as you think it should. Some could argue that is a good thing so I will leave it at that.

Things I learned from this recipe:

The LeCreuset is pan will be finding a new home.

Would I make this recipe again?

Yes
