Loaf Recipe
½ cup butter, room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup blood orange juice (about 2 oranges)
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Blood orange glaze
1½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsps blood orange juice
1 tsp blood orange zest
1 tsp melted butter Pinch of salt
In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, add the butter and sugar and mix until fluffy. Next, add one egg at a time and mix until it’s combined. Scrape down the bowl and add the orange juice. Mix again and then in small increments, add the dry ingredients while gently mixing with a spatula.
*Don’t overmix because this will create a dense cake.In a 9x5 loaf pan, line with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Smooth it out and bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until it’s golden brown and comes out clean with a toothpick.
Let the cake cool completely.
While it cools, make the glaze- In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, blood orange juice & zest, melted butter, a pinch of salt, and mix until smooth.
Place the cake on an icing rack over a baking sheet and pour the glaze over the cake. Decorate with thinly blood orange slices and let the glaze harden for about 10 minutes. Cut and enjoy!
