📝 Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups (337 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup (250 mL) Greek yogourt, plain (we use 2% milk fat yogourt)
• 1 tbsp grated orange zest, tightly packed
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) orange juice
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) sugar
• 2/3 cup (160 mL) vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or 1/2 tsp vanilla powder)
• 3/4 cup (96 grams) icing sugar
• 4 tsp orange juice

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your loaf pan with vegetable oil and line it with parchment paper.
2. 2Whisk: In a medium size bowl, whisk to combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set it aside.
3. 3Mix: In another medium size bowl, mix together the yoghurt, orange juice and orange zest.
4. 4Beat: 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. 5Add: 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. 6Bake: 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. 7Cool: 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. 8Prepare 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. 9Glaze: Once your cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over it, allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake.
10. 10Enjoy!
