Orange Yogurt Bread w/ Orange Cream Cheese Glaze

By srumbel

This bread is truly delicious. It is so soft and moist it could almost be considered a cake, but since it's baked in a loaf pan and bread is acceptable to eat in the morning, let's call it bread so we can eat it for breakfast.

Ingredients

• for the bread:
• 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup yogurt (I used Stoneyfield Vanilla yogurt)
• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tbsp orange zest (the zest from one medium orange)
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• for the glaze:
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 2 tbsp orange juice
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 9x5x3" loaf pan liberally with cooking spray and set aside.

In large bowl with electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, until completely mixed. Add yogurt, orange juice, and orange zest and mix until combined.

In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.

To make the glaze, beat zest, juice, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread over cooled bread, slice, and enjoy!
