Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons orange zest, from about 3 large oranges
- 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (109 g) vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the orange zest using your fingers until fragrant and light orange in color.
- In a stand mixer bowl with paddle attachment, combine sour cream, fresh orange juice, eggs, and the sugar-zest mix. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until creamy and well mixed.
- While the mixer is on low, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring on low or folding gently until just combined. Small lumps are acceptable, avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 45 to 50 minutes. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely for about 30 to 60 minutes.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
You can use the zest from the oranges used for fresh juice, adding extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
