To make Blood Orange Loaf and Blood Orange Glaze, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or butter.
In a large bowl using an electric beater on medium speed, beat ½ cup butter and 1 cup of sugar until combined, light and fluffy.
Add 2 large eggs, 1 egg at a time, and mix to combine.
On low speed, gradually pour in ½ cup of milk and continue mixing until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift and combine 1½ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt and the zest from 1 blood orange.
Gradually add the dry ingredients bowl to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Take care to not over mix.
Transfer the batter to a prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until baked in the center and the loaf gently bounces when touched.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons of orange juice, 2 tablespoons of butter and ½ cup of icing sugar until combined and a pourable glaze forms.
Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake and garnish with some blood orange slices, if you wish.
