BLOOD ORANGE YOGURT LOAF
A lovely moist and very tasty blood orange yoghurt cake. Finished with the blood orange glaze and topped with segments of blood orange.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt full fat or 2%
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 blood oranges zested
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
Blood orange icing
- 1 blood orange zested
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed blood orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan generously.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and the sugar until combined. Whisk in the eggs, orange zest, juice and vanilla extract.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until full combined. Use a spatula to fold the coconut oil into the batter, folding and stirring until the oil is incorporated completely. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it gently and set it on a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cool, pour the icing over top. Let the icing set for 20 minutes, then slice and serve!

- Whisk the zest, powdered sugar and juice together in a large bowl until smooth. Pour it over the cake once cooled.
Notes
I didn’t have the Greek yoghurt, so substituted for a Gippsland mango and blood orange yoghurt.
