Ingredients
Orange Bread
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole large eggs
- 3 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Orange Glaze (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease or line a 9 X 5 -nch loaf pan. Set aside
- Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time, until they are fully incorporated.
- Pour in orange juice and zest and mix until well combined.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until the flour just disappears and is blended. The batter will be thick.
- Spread into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until it is cooked through. You want it to gently spring back when you touch it and a tester to come out clean.
- Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you are making glaze, wait until bread has completely cooked and then mix everything together until it smooth and you can drizzle it over bread.
