3 eggs

1/2 cup milk (I use 2%)

1/2 cup sour cream

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 tablespoons orange zest

1/3 cup orange juice

 

Cream butter and sugar with mixer;  add eggs and continue mixing. Mix in the milk and sour cream.  Turn mixer to low before adding flour mixture.   Whisk together flour, salt and baking powder and add to liquids. Add the orange zest and orange juice.  Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan generously.  Pour in batter.  Tap pan on counter top to release any air bubbles. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour testing for doneness.  Let cool and remove from pan.  Add orange glaze.
