Calories: 242kcal
Ingredients
- 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:
- ¼ cup orange juice or the juice from an orange
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
Make the Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 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.
Notes
- 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!
