Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 2 large ripe papayas

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • ½ cup guava juice

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

  2. Slice papayas in half lengthwise. Scoop out black seeds and discard. Peel and discard skin. Place flesh in a bowl and mash. Transfer to a strainer and allow to sit for 10 minutes to drain any liquid.

  3. Combine flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Cream sugar and butter together in a separate bowl. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Mix in papaya flesh, buttermilk, guava juice, and vanilla. Slowly stir in dry ingredients until just moistened. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release loaf from the pan onto a wire rack. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes, before slicing.
