Ingredients

3 tablespoon Oil
3/4 cup Brown sugar
2 tablespoon Orange juice
2 Eggs
1 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder

1/2 cup Milk
1 tablespoon Grated orange rind
3 tablespoon Powdered sugar
1 tablespoon Orange juice (for glaze)

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x4x2 inch loaf pan.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and brown sugar until combined.
3
Stir in the 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
7
Stir in the grated orange rind. Mix until just combined.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
9
Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10
While the bread bakes, make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of orange juice until smooth. Add more orange juice if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
11
Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top with the glaze immediately.
12
Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
13
Turn the bread out of the pan onto the wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with additional grated orange rind if desired.
