- 1 large orange skin and pulp, cubed
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
Orange syrup:
- 1 orange juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Make the Bread:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it.
Wash the orange thoroughly. Cut it into cubes, leaving the peel on.
Place the orange cubes, eggs, oil, and sugar into a food processor. Process until everything looks smooth and well combined.
Add flour and baking powder. Stir (or pulse) in the flour and baking powder.
Mix just until you have a thick, even batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes(start checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick).
Make the Sauce:
Combine the juice of 1 orange with 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bring it to a gentle boil until the sugar dissolves.
Poke holes in the warm bread and pour the hot syrup over it while still in the pan.
Let the bread soak and cool before removing from the pan.
- For less bitterness, remove some of the white pith.
- Use a blender for the smoothest batter, or a food processor. Both work fine.
- The syrup adds moisture and enhances the orange flavor—don’t skip it!
