Bread, Orange
Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr
Serves Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (small-medium)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (5.3 ounces/150 grams)

orange zest (from 1 orange)

  • 3 oranges , juice only (see note 2)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter , softened (4 ounces/110 grams)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (10.6 ounces/300 grams)
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C.

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the eggs with sugar until smooth and pale.
  2. Add orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice and softened butter. Mix with the electric mixer.
  3. Sift in the flour and baking powder (mix these two ingredients beforehand) and mix well with the mixer. Pour the batter into a loaf tin (10×4 inch/25×10 cm) lined with baking paper.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F/190°C for 1 hour or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
  5. When ready, take out from the oven and pour some more orange juice over the loaf. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before transferring onto a wired rack. Let cool completely.

Notes

You will need to get ½ cup (120 ml) of orange juice for the batter + about ¼ cup (60 ml) for pouring over the baked bread. 3 medium oranges (150 grams each) should be plenty but if you have oranges that are rather dry on the inside you might need one extra.

The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
