Fig and honey yogurt loaf cake

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or °160°C for fan ovens).
2. Grease and flour or line an 8½ x 4¼ x 2½ inch loaf pan.
3. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest and orange flower water.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a bit at a time, whisking between additions.
6. Fold the olive oil into the batter using a rubber spatula until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
7. Pour the batter into the loaf pan.
8. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. When the cake is cold, prepare the glaze.
11. Place the icing sugar in a small bowl.
12. Add the orange flower water and then gradually whisk in the orange juice until a smooth, pourable consistency is reached.
13. Put a sheet of parchment paper under the rack the cake cooled on and drizzle the glaze over the cake.
14. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.
