I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a fruit or vegetable loaf that I haven’t loved. The local farmer’s market is my favorite place to purchase fresh loaf cakes made with vegetables. We love them for breakfast or brunch, but occasionally I like to bake a sweet one for after school too. I especially love a tangy citrus loaf because they are perfect for afternoon tea.
I love this simple Orange Loaf Cake recipe… and the best part is you can switch out the flavors by using lemon, lime, grapefruit, or mandarin instead of orange.

Orange loaf cake recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tbsp extra
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 1 cup Planet Oat Original Oatmilk
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) + 1 tsp
- 1 tbsp orange zest
- 2 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- Glaze
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 2-3 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- zest from an orange
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Grease a loaf pan with softened butter and flour, shaking off excess flour.
- In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a smaller bowl beat together the butter, Planet Oat Original Oatmilk, eggs, vanilla extra, and orange juice.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, beating together until combined and creamy.
- Fold in the orange zest, then pour your batter into the loaf pan.
- Bake for approximately 55-minutes.
- Insert a wooden skewer into the center of the loaf to make sure it comes out clean, which indicates that it is baked through. Set aside to cool a little before turning it out onto a wire rack and letting it cool completely before topping with icing and more orange zest.
- Once you are ready to ice your loaf, beat together the confectioner's sugar and fresh orange juice - you can add more or less orange juice if you don't have the desired consistency.
- Gradually pour over your loaf, making sure you have a drip pan or parchment paper underneath, and then sprinkle the last of the orange zest over the top.
