I found this vintage recipe on the Internet while looking for unique recipes to submit for the Zaar World Tour. It comes from the recipe files of Margaret Dens Buytaert, a Belgain who resided in Wisconsin. The idea of coffee as the liquid in this quick bread intrigues me. Sorry that I will not have a chance to prepare it for a while. If you try it, please share your reactions.

Equipment

9x4-inch loaf pan, parchment paper or wax paper, mixing bowls, toothpick

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 cup hot coffee
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup corn oil

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Prepare a 9" by 4" in loaf pan by lightly greasing the sides. Cut a piece of wax paper or parchment to fit the bottow for quick removal.

  3. Mix together dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon & cloves).

  4. In a separate bowl, quickly mix 1 egg. Spoon in and mix the honey, coffee, and oil.

  5. Quickly fold in the dry ingredients - mixing just enough to combine without toughening the batter.

  6. Fold into pan and bake for 30 minutes. Use a tooth pick to see if center is done.

  7. Slice thinly and serve warm plain or with butter.
