Ingrédients

• 2 1/4 cups (337 grams) all-purpose flour

• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) sugar
• 2/3 cup (160 mL) vegetable oil

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your loaf pan with vegetable oil and line it with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Whisk: In a medium size bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set it aside.

3. 3

   Mix: In another medium size bowl, mix together the yoghurt, orange juice and orange zest.

4. 4

   Beat: In the bowl of your stand mixer (you can also use a hand held mixer) beat the eggs with the sugar for 2-3 minutes. Slowly add in the oil, followed by the vanilla (extract or powder).

5. 5

   Add: With your mixer speed on low, carefully add in the flour mixture and then add the yoghurt mixture. Be careful not to over mix.

6. 6

   Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake in the middle rack of your oven for 60-65 minutes. See Recipe Notes

7. 7

   Cool: Remove your cake from the oven and let it cool for approximately 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

8. 8

   Prepare glaze: While your cake is cooling prepare the glaze. Whisk the icing sugar and orange juice together until smooth and there are no clumps.

9. 9

   Glaze: Once your cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over it, allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake.
