How to Make Orange Juice Bread
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 11x4x3 inch loaf pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In another bowl, combine ¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice and ½ cup milk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens.
- As soon as the bread is removed from the oven, brush the warm glaze evenly over the top.
- Let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
