Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 cup Orange juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
