Equipment

  • 9x5" loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain, whole fat greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 blood oranges, zested
  • 1/4 cup blood orange juice (from 2 oranges)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Blood Orange Icing

  • 1 blood orange, zested
  • 2 tbsp blood orange juice (from 1 orange)
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line your 9x5" loaf pan wtih parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the sugar and yogurt until smooth. Add in your eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, blood orange juice and blood orange zest and stir until smooth.
  • Slowly add 1/3 of the dry flour mix into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Then add another 1/3 of dry flour mix into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Finally, add the last 1/3 of dry flour mix to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined and no raw flour streaks remain.
  • Pour batter into your loaf pan and bake for 20 minutes. Rotate halfway and bake for the remaining time. Check for doneness with a toothpick every 5 minutes. Once the toothpick comes out clean without any wet batter, remove from the oven. Pull the parchment paper out of the loaf pan and let the loaf cool fully before drizzling the icing over the top.

Blood Orange Icing

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar, blood orange zest and blood orange juice. If it's too thick to drizzle, add lukewarm water a teaspoon at a time until you reach the right consistency for drizzling.
