Cook Time: 50 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- In a separate bowl, mix white sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted white chocolate for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature: Ensure your eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and a fluffier loaf.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense bread, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your bread a few minutes before the 45-minute mark. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when it's ready.
- Cool Properly: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Add a Twist: For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve slices with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for an indulgent treat that will wow your guests!
