Ingredients

Ingredients List:

Loaf 

  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup full-fat yogurt
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 heirloom orange, zested
  • ½ heirloom orange, juiced
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1 ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • ½ heirloom orange, juiced

Preparation

  1. Get Prepped
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a loaf pan.

  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, orange juice, vanilla, and sugar. Once combined, slowly whisk in the melted butter.

  3. Add the Dry Ingredients
    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined.

  4. Bake It
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, checking at the 45-minute mark. The loaf is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before removing.

  5. Make the Glaze and Serve
    Whisk together the powdered sugar and citrus juices to make the glaze. Once the loaf is cool, pour the glaze over the top and serve.
