1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (160 fan forced) and line a loaf tin.

2

In a medium bowl whisk together together the flour, baking powder, bicarb soda and poppy seeds.

3

In a large bowl whisk together the yoghurt, sugar, eggs, oil and blood orange zest.

4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk until the batter is smooth. Pour into the pre-pared tin and bake for 45 minutes or until the cake is golden in colour and a skewer in-serted into the centre comes out clean.

5

Allow the cake to cool in its tin for a few minutes, before removing the cake from the tin and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.

6

Once the cake has cooled make the icing, by combining the icing sugar and 1 tbsp of the fresh blood orange juice in a medium bowl. Gradually add more juice, a little at a time, until you have a smooth thick spreadable icing. You may not need all the juice to reach this consistency.

7

Spread the icing over the cake allowing it to drizzle over the sides and enjoy!
