A sweet orange bread with festive chocolate morsels!<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

After a frustrating day in the kitchen yesterday (which involved overfilling a pan with cake batter, battling a small oven fire, and wasting two beautiful cake batters) I needed to shake it off and try something very simple today. These sweet little slices of orange bread are very easy to make, and perfect for entertaining. Don’t expect a cake-like texture; it’s more of a moist, dense bread. The batter is jazzed up a little with Tuaca – a vanilla and orange liqueur, and colored chocolate morsels. You can make this bread ahead and freeze (just thaw and slice) for convenience. <\/p>\n

For this recipe I used two vertical star pans (also known as canap\u00e9 bread tubes) which were about half filled. Whatever you do, don\u2019t fill the pan more than half full! If you only have one pan, the remaining batter can be baked in cupcake tins. If you don\u2019t own one of these fun pans, this bread can also be baked in a loaf pan for about an hour.<\/p>\n

Expect some oozing. The pan fits into a round cap, which I lined with parchment. It still blurped out of there a little. I love crunchy stuff, so the crispy pieces were a bonus for me! I didn’t put a cap on the top of the pans; just covered them with a loose piece of foil. You will need something long to poke in the pan to test the bread. I use a wooden skewer, but a piece of a straw broom (does anyone use those anymore?) would work too. Lacking either of those options, if you’ve baked them for 50 minutes and the tops are brown, it’s a pretty safe bet that the bread is done!<\/p>\n
