Add 1/6 teaspoon orange zest oil to the mixture.

Gently mix the wet ingredients together.

In a separate bowl, mix together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon allspice.

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, a little at a time.

Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool before slicing and plating.
