Black Sapote Quick Bread
Black sapote is ripe when it's squishy and oozy – not before! This
unusual fruit, related to the persimmon, is rich in vitamin C and mild
in flavor. This quick bread, good with coffee and tea, looks like
chocolate but tastes like spices.
Ingredients
1 ripe black sapote, skin and seeds removed, about 8 oz. of pulp
4 oz. unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon dark rum
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Grated zest from one orange or 3 tablespoons candied orange zest, chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter pans or spray with baking spray. In
a large bowl, combine black sapote pulp and melted butter. Add sugar,
egg, vanilla and rum and mix well. In another bowl, whisk together
flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cardamom. Add flour to sapote
mixture and stir just until combined. Stir in orange zest. Pour into
prepared baking pan or pans and bake for 40-45 minutes (small loaves)
to 60 minutes (large loaf) or until a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack
to cool completely.
Notes
Makes 2 mini loaves or 1 9x5 loaf.
