How to Make Easiest Orange Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon orange zest.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-4 tablespoons orange juice until smooth and pourable.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.
