Ingredients

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • Zest of 1 blood orange
  • 1/4 cup of blood orange juice
  • 1/2 cup of oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
  • pinch of salt

Blood Orange Glaze:

  • 1 cup of confectioner sugar
  • 2 -3 tablespoons of fresh blood orange juice depending on how thin or thick you want the glaze to be

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a mini loaf pan size, or an 8 inch cake pan, square round or a muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, zest, juice, vanilla, oil, eggs and buttermilk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with baking powder and baking soda and salt.
  4. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the lemon mixture and pour into your preferred pan.
  5. Bake (middle rack) for about 20-22 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clear or with just a few moist crumbs.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Glaze the cake while still warm.
  7. For the glaze: Whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until nice and smooth. Add a little more juice if you prefer a runny glaze or a little more confectioner sugar if you prefer a thicker glaze.
