Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup orange marmalade
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk, oil, orange marmalade, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a stronger citrus flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh orange zest. Apricot preserves can be used if marmalade is unavailable. Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for a nutty texture.
