Orange loaf, the ingredients:
To prepare orange bread, you need: a large organic orange with untreated zest; 120 milliliters of semi-skimmed milk; 100 milliliters of sunflower oil; 220 grams of granulated sugar; three eggs; three ounces of double zero flour; a sachet of baking powder; just enough icing sugar for the final garnish.
The preparation
Preparing this dessert is very simple and also very quick and you only need a blender to make it.
After carefully washing and cleaning the orange under running water, cut it into rather coarse pieces without removing the peel. Only the parts of the petiole and the one at the base are removed. Once this is done, all that remains is to put the orange in the blender and run the machine for a few minutes until a sort of puree is obtained.
At that point the mixer is turned off and the milk, sunflower oil and sugar are added, after which it is blended for a few more minutes.
Break the eggs into a bowl and add them to the mixture as well, whisking to mix everything.
Then add the flour a little at a time, dosing it with a spoon (it shouldn’t be sieved because the mixture will in any case result in lumps, and that’s okay) and then a sachet of baking powder. The whole thing is blended again for a couple of minutes.
Now take a springform pan with a diameter of more or less 25 centimeters, then butter it and cover it with baking paper. In the meantime, the (static) oven will have preheated to a temperature of 180 degrees.

Orange loaf: cooking
Pour the mixture into the pan and level it with a spatula. Then it is cooked for about 50-60 minutes. If the dough is still raw, but the surface is golden, it can be covered with baking paper or aluminum foil and continue cooking.
Before serving it on the table, the dessert must be allowed to cool. A nice finishing touch will be a generous dusting of icing sugar.
Have fun and bon appetit!
