Ingredients
Method
- Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your loaf pan by greasing it and placing parchment paper inside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until mixed evenly.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and pale.
- Beat in the eggs one by one, making sure each is fully combined before adding the next. Stir in the orange zest.
- Slowly add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, alternating between them. Begin and finish with the flour. Mix gently until just blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out smoothly.
- Bake for about 50 to 60 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s done.
- As soon as the loaf is out of the oven, poke small holes on top and pour over the orange juice mixed with sanding sugar. Let it cool fully before slicing to enjoy the crunchy topping.
