Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoons orange zest (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring gently. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing for a tender loaf.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Once the bread is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Sprinkle with additional orange zest for garnish if desired.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Cavelle Orange Bread!
