APPLE-MOLASSES BREAD

A simple, fragrant apple nut raisin bread

I found this recipe on the back of a label for a baking loaf pan. It is easy to make and because of the molasses it is very fragrant while baking.

Ingredients

(1 large loaf)

120 g butter
200 g sugar
3 eggs
200 g all-purpose flour
5 ml baking powder
2.5 ml salt
2.5 ml ground cinnamon
1 ml ground nutmeg
250 ml applesauce
60 ml dark molasses (treacle)
150 g raisins
75 g chopped nuts

Procedure

Preheat oven to 175C
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg; set aside. Combine applesauce and molasses.
Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce mixture to egg mixture. Fold in raisins and nuts.
Pour into a greased 23 x 13 x 7 cm loaf pan. Bake at 175C for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and continue cooling on a wire rack.

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking, 30 minutes cooling.
Precision: measure the ingredients.
