Orange Loaf Cake

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• Zest of 1 orange (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and Prep

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

4. Add the Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the orange juice, orange zest, yogurt (or sour cream), and vanilla extract until well combined.
