5. Pour the batter into the lined/greased loaf tin. Place in the middle of your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Glaze:

If the glaze is too thick, add more orange juice one teaspoon at a time to thin it out to your preferred consistency.2. When the loaf is cool enough to handle, carefully remove it from the pan and place it on a cooling rack with paper towels/ baking paper underneath to catch the glaze. Drizzle or pour the glaze over the top.
