Wow this is terrific. The orange flavor is fabulous and the bread has such a perfect texture for a quick bread. I made one loaf and it baked for 30 minutes and then we lost power for 3 days - I was so disappointed because it smelled so heavenly so as soon as power returned I made this again! Fabulous breakfast treat with just a light spread of butter on top. Made for the Bargain Basement tag game.
