Step by step

Step 1

Rinse the oranges. Grate the peel of one orange using a fine grater, ensuring to avoid the white pith as it has a bitter taste.

Squeeze out the juice from the oranges. You should ideally have about 150ml of juice.

Step 2

Whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually incorporate the melted and cooled butter into the egg-sugar mixture, continuously stirring as you do so.

Step 4

Next, add the orange juice, grated orange peel, and vanilla extract into the mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Gently fold in the flour and baking powder using a whisk. Make sure the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for approximately 45 minutes.

To ensure doneness, perform a toothpick test. If it comes out clean, your orange bread is ready. If not, leave it in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes.
