This Orange Loaf with Creme Fraiche Frosting is a delightful combination of citrusy flavors and creamy frosting. It's perfect for a refreshing dessert or a sweet treat with tea. The loaf is moist and flavorful on its own, but the creme fraiche frosting adds an extra layer of deliciousness that’s hard to resist.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric hand mixer on medium speed.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue to mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Gently fold in the orange juice and sour cream until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes using an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed.
- Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Once the loaf is completely cool, spread the crème fraiche frosting evenly over the top of the loaf using a spatula.
- Slice the loaf and serve. Enjoy your Orange Loaf with Crème Fraîche Frosting!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This will help them mix more evenly.
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor in your loaf.
- Don't overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense loaf.
- Let the loaf cool completely before applying the frosting to prevent it from melting and becoming runny.
- For an extra burst of orange flavor, add a bit of orange zest to the batter.
- If you don’t have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each cup of all-purpose flour.
Enjoy your beautifully baked Orange Loaf with Creme Fraiche Frosting! This delightful dessert is sure to impress your family and friends with its moist texture and decadent frosting. Don't forget to share and savor every bite!
