A pureed whole orange adds a zesty flavour and replaces about half of the oil often found in loaf recipes. Sift some icing sugar over top just before serving.
Ingredients
- 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cardamom or ground nutmeg
- 1 medium seedless orange
- 2 egg whites
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup chopped dried figs
Preparation
In large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cardamom; set aside.
In food processor, mince unpeeled orange into small pieces. Using on/off motion, blend in egg whites, egg, milk, oil and vanilla; pour into measure and add enough water to make 2 cups (500 mL). Pour over dry ingredients. Sprinkle with figs; stir just until moistened.
Spread in greased 9- x 5-inch (2 L) loaf pan. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for about 55 minutes or until tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
