Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- zest from 4 oranges
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (300g)
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange juice, plus 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a metal 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the bottom and sides with sugar, then pour off the excess.
- Mix the sugar and orange zest until thoroughly combined. Stir in the oil. Add the egg, sour cream, and extracts and mix until creamy.
- Stir together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients alternately with the orange juice and buttermilk. Continue mixing until everything is mixed in.
- Gently stir in the poppy seeds, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 53-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip it out carefully onto a plate. Let it cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon juice. Add the additional juice if needed. Spread on top of the cooled loaf and let it set before cutting.
