Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.75 cup orange juice
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Stir in the orange zest to evenly distribute it throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, prepare the streusel by combining the brown sugar, cubed cold butter, all-purpose flour (for streusel), and ground cinnamon. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each loaf.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Orange Streusel Loaves with a cup of coffee or tea!
