Cranberry Orange Bread Recipe

This Orange Loaf Cake is exceptionally moist, bursting with fresh orange flavor, and topped with a luscious orange glaze icing. It’s made with oil and yogurt instead of butter for a perfectly tender cake every time. Plus it’s super easy to make - no mixer required! 

Moist Orange Cake Recipe

plain whole-milk yogurt (room temperature)

vegetable oil

tsp baking powder

½ tsp kosher salt

orange juice (freshly squeezed)

butter

heavy cream

tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a standard loaf pan (approx 9x 5 x 3-inch) with non-stick baking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, orange zest, and vanilla.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed, being careful not to overmix.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cake

While the cake is baking, microwave the sugar and orange juice in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. The syrup is finished when the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is translucent.

Once the cake is removed from the oven, allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Use a fork or wooden skewer to poke holes ¾ of the way down the cake. Leaving the cake in the loaf pan, pour on the orange syrup and allow it to soak. Cool completely in the pan.

Orange Syrup

While the cake is cooling, combine the glaze ingredients and mix until smooth. Once the cake is cooled completely, remove it from the pan and place on a cooling rack over a sheet pan. Pour the glaze on top, allowing it to drip down the sides (the sheet pan will catch the drips).

Orange Glaze

This cake is a fan favorite by my family. My neighbors absolutely adore it as well. 
So happy I found it. When I first made it I had everything besides yogurt. I did have buttermilk though and it came out perfect! Thank you so much 💕

this makes two loafs if you use the store bought tins (8.5x4.5x2.5). The first time l felt the frosting made it too sweet, so I used a simple glaze of orange juice and powdered sugar instead the next time I baked it. The simple glaze pops the flavors instead of competing with the frosting.

Makes a great layer cake, too! Sturdy, yet moist. Poured into 2 8” cake pans and frosted with orange cream cheese frosting. Amazing!

This loaf is absolutely delicious.I didn’t have yogurt so used sour cream and it was perfect.
I lined the bottom of the loaf pan with a strip of parchment paper with the ends longer and it was so easy to remove from the pan once it was cooled.
It is so moist and has such a rich orange flavour.
Definitely a keeper.

Really delicious, texture came out perfectly, but wayyy too much sugar.

I used the vanilla yogurt because that is what I had. It was delicious.  I also used plain yogurt,  also delicious.  
And, like I'm planning to do today, I've made it with lemon. So good. Seems you can't go wrong with this recipe 😋
