I used Cutie oranges because they were getting old. Also, added blueberries instead of walnuts.

Equipment

  • 1 Loaf Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Flour
  • 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ Cup Walnuts I used blueberries instead
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • ½ Cup Butter
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • ½ Cup Fresh orange juice
  • 1 Tablesppon Orange zest
  • ½ Cup Orange juice
  • ¼ Cup Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Stir flour, baking powder, nuts, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat 1 cup sugar and butter together in a separate large bowl until fluffy; beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in 1/2 cup orange juice and orange zest. Pour in flour mixture, and stir until moistened. I rolled the blueberries in flour so they wouldn't''t sink then mix into batter. Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove loaf from oven, but not from pan.
  • Combine 1/2 cup orange juice with 1/4 cup sugar in a small saucepan. Heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Poke holes in loaf with toothpick. Spoon glaze over hot loaf. Let stand in pan for 10 minutes before removing loaf to a rack to cool.
