Best Orange Pound Cake recipe I’ve tried yet!

 

Orange Pound Cake Recipe:

I don’t know about you, but I love pound cake. The only thing that comes close to my love for pound cake is angel food cake. This recipe is not too sweet and has just enough orange flavor to taste like my favorite orange creamsicles. I love all things orange flavored, but with my migraines, I have to be really careful. Too much orange anything will give me a massive migraine.

Thankfully this recipe hits the spot and leaves me headache free!

Orange Pound Cake Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
1 Tbsp. Orange juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. Grated orange peel
3/4 cup butter
3 large eggs

How To Make Orange Pound Cake:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour 8-1/2 x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan; set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl; set aside.

Combine yogurt, orange juice and vanilla in small bowl; set aside. Combine sugar with orange peel in large bowl.

Beat butter soft spread into sugar and orange peel mixture with electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately beat in flour mixture and yogurt mixture on low speed just until blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

Bake 55 minutes or until lightly browned and the toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes.

Remove from pan and cool completely.

Frost, if desired, with Orange Glaze.*

*For Orange Glaze: Combine 1 cup confectioners’ sugar with 1 Tbsp. Orange juice. Adding more orange juice if needed.
