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:

  • 1 orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

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.

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!
