Vanilla Yogurt Cake with Orange Glaze

Ingredients (1 loaf):

1 2/3 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract

1 cup plain yogurt

1/2 cup vegetable oil

10 tablespoons orange juice

2 cups sifted powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease one 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with baking spray.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer, beat together the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed, until it turns pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and oil, beat 1 more minute, until fully incorporated.

With the mixer on low speed, add half the amount of dry ingredients. Then add half the amount of yogurt, and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Add remaining dry ingredients and followed by the remaining yogurt. Remove from mixer and finish mixing by hand using a spatula until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

Remove from oven. Using a toothpick or large wooden skewer poke holes into the cake. Using a pastry brush, brush another 2 tablespoons orange juice over hot loaf.

Let cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan. Place on wire rack to finish cooling. When cool, glaze cakes.

Combine the remaining 6 tablespoons orange juice with powder sugar together with a whisk. Pour over cakes.
