Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a standard 9 inch loaf pan or spray with baking spray.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and baking powder. Set aside.
  • Peel and finely chop the orange pulp removing any seeds and pith, to equal 2/3 cup.
  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together orange pulp, butter, eggs, buttermilk, lemon zest and vanilla until fully blended.
  • Add the sifted dry ingredients. Use a large spoon and mix by hand until fully combined. Spread the batter into the loaf pan.
  • Bake for 36-38 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove carefully to cool completely on a cooling rack.
  • To make the citrus drizzle: Mix together the powdered sugar, heavy cream and orange zest. Stir until blended. Add the juice, as needed to thin to drizzle consistency. Drizzle over cooled loaf.
  • Garnish with strips of orange zest, if desired.
