Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1.5 cup gluten free flour King Arthur Brand, or use regular flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp blood orange zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup olive or avocado oil
Simple Syrup
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
Blood Orange Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp blood orange juice
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a standard loaf pan with olive oil.
- In a 2 cup measuring container, mix all the dry ingredients and set aside. Sugar is considered a wet ingredient (cause it melts, fun fact for you).
- In a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients with a whisk.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Pour into the loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out of the cake clean.
- In a saucepan, make the simple syrup. Combine water and sugar, boil until sugar is dissolved, then set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the glaze ingredients and set aside.
- Cool the cake completely on a wire rack. Pour all of the simple syrup evenly over the top of the cake. Then pour all of the glaze over the cake.
- Serve immediately. Wrap leftover cake tightly with plastic wrap, store in the refrigerator.
