This one is another batter bread, or quick bread, which basically means that it's a cake batter poured into a bread pan. It's about as moist as a cake and a lot like regular banana bread, but this one had a ton of orange flavor in it. The recipe called for 3 oranges worth of rind to use in the syrup, but I just used some candied orange peel instead. The recipe never called for the orange peel to be taken out of the syrup, but I think it'd be pretty gross to leave them in. I left the candied orange peel in because it absorbed a lot of the honey flavoring, and it was candied to begin with, so I thought it'd be okay. Next time I make this I'll use real oranges and compare the two.
I'm not the biggest fan of orange flavored thing, besides oranges, but this turned out really well. I prefer lemon anything, but this orange cake bread really hit a spot. There is a ton of orange in it, but the whole wheat taste counter acts the sweetness remarkably well. there are also walnuts in it which give it just another layer of texture. It's a very solid recipe all around.
