How to Make Easy Moist Orange Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Zest and juice two medium oranges. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons orange zest, and 1/2 cup orange juice.
  4. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon baking soda to the wet ingredients. Whisk until combined.
  5. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 38-42 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and serve. For an extra special treat, top with cream cheese frosting (recipe not included).
