  • Step 3/4

    Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, using a rubber spatula to fold together gently, just until mixed. Transfer to greased and lined loaf pan and bake for approx. 50 min., or until top is golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack but leave in the pan and let cool completely, approx. 2 hrs. Once cooled, gently lift the cake out of the pan and peel away the parchment paper.

  • Step 4/4

    Whisk confectioner’s sugar and add remaining orange juice 1 tbsp. at a time to create a thick but pourable glaze. Pour over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides, then top with reserved pistachios. Let rest for another 30 min. before slicing. Enjoy!
