Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter and flour an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 loaf pan, and set aside. Make sure eggs are room temperature. Zest and juice the oranges.

Place the
Unsalted Butter (110 g)
Granulated Sugar (200 g)
, zest and juice from
Orange (1/4)

After 25 minutes in the oven, remove the cake, sprinkle with the topping, and bake for an additional 30 to 32 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes.
Step 12
Take it out of the loaf pan to cool for another 15 minutes.
Step 13
If preferred, make the yogurt and honey glaze by whisking
