It's a quickbread, like banana bread, and it came out too dense and rubbery. Can you tell me how to change it so it comes out lighter, but still flavorful and moist?
4 1/2 c flour
2 1/4 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
2 1/2 c sugar
1 1/4 c veg oil
1/2 T salt
1/2 c orange zest
1/4 c light corn syrup
4 lg eggs, beaten
2 1/2 c water (sounds like too much to me)
1 1/4 c evap milk
1 1/2 T orange extract
Sift together dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine eggs, zest, oil, corn syrup, water, evap milk & orange extract. Add to dry mix, stirring until combined (I had to use a mixer to get rid of lumps). pour into 2 greased loaf pans & bake at 350 for 50-60 min.
The flavor is nice & orange-y, but I wonder if I could use orange juice in place of some of the water to add even more flavor. Or does the acid do something to the leavening ingredients?
Also, could I use melted butter in place of some of the oil for added richness?
