Orange Bread!! So yummy!!

I had some oranges taking up space, so this is what I came up with....

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 9x5 inch loaf pan.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup white sugar

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder.

In large bowl, beat 1 cup sugar with the butter. Beat in eggs. Stir in orange juice and zest.

Slowly stir in flour mixture. Pour into loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour.  Remove from oven.

Combine remaining orange juice and sugar in saucepan and heat until sugar dissolves. Spread over bread. Let sit in pan for at least 10 minutes before removing, then cool on wire rack.
