Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Australian
Ingredients: 175g butter, softened; 3/4 cup caster sugar; 3 eggs; zest of 2 oranges; juice of 1 orange; 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour; 2 tbsp poppy seeds; 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 1/2 cups icing sugar; juice of 1 orange for glaze

A moist, citrusy Australian orange and poppy seed loaf finished with an orange glaze. Pouring the glaze over the cake only once it's fully cooled is what lets it set into a glossy layer on top, rather than soaking straight in and disappearing into a warm crumb.
