Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups (190g) wheat flour

• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar

• ½ cup (115g) melted butter

• 2 eggs

• ½ cup (120ml) orange juice

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Add Dry Ingredients
   In a separate bowl, sift together the wheat flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

4. Optional Add-ins
   If using chopped dried fruits, fold them into the batter at this stage.

5. Bake
   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool & Serve
   Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
