"This was the main kind of quick bread my mother made. She gave it as a gift frequently because it was so well loved. Sweet but not overly so. We ate it cold like cake (though it has more texture than cake) or toasted with butter on it. If you don't have orange juice on hand, you can simply use another 1/2 c milk, but it's definitely better with the orange juice. She never included nuts, nor do I, but I suppose there's no reason not to if that's what you prefer."
