Equipment
- standard 9x5 loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries, plus extra for popping on top before baking, if desired.
lemon glaze
- 1 cup plus one tablespoon confectioner's sugar
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice, or more if necessary
- lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray and line your 9x5 loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper with long ends so you can lift the bread out easily after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the oil, buttermilk, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whisk in the baking powder and salt. Then whisk in the flour and mix just until everything is fairly smooth, but don't over beat your batter.
- Gently fold in the raspberries and turn the batter into your prepared pan. Add a few extra berries into the top of the batter if you care about that sort of thing :)
- Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the bread is risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out without wet batter on it. Moist crumbs are fine. Note: keep an eye on the bread through your oven window but don't be tempted to open the oven door during baking. If toward the end of baking the bread seems to be browning too much you can (quickly!) add a piece of foil loosely over the top.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then loosen and remove it using the parchment paper 'sling'. Finish cooling completely on the rack before glazing.
- To make the glaze stir together the lemon juice and sugar until smooth. If you want to make it thicker add a bit more sugar, and to make it thinner add more lemon juice. But do so in small increments, stirring completely in between additions. Spoon the glaze over the cooled bread and top with some lemon zest. Let the glaze set up before slicing.
