4 whole Oranges, Zest And Juice, Divided
2 sticks Butter, Softened
2-1/2 cups Granulated Sugar, Divided
4 whole Eggs, Room Temperature
3 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
3/4 cups Vanilla Yogurt, Room Temperature
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups Powdered Sugar

1
Zest the oranges and put aside. Juice the oranges (should be about 1 cup of juice). Set aside.
2
Cream butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in a mixer for 5 minutes. On medium speed, beat in eggs, one at a time. Add all of the orange zest.
3
In large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, yogurt and vanilla extract. Add flour and yogurt mixtures alternately to the mixer, in about 3 additions.
4
Pour into two greased loaf pans. I line my pans with parchment paper on the bottom, then grease the pan. Bake in a 350u00b0F oven for 45 minutes to one hour.
5
While bread is baking, cook remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup orange juice on low until sugar dissolves.
6
Cool cakes ten minutes in the pan. Remove from the pans to a wire rack. Spoon sugar syrup over the cakes. Cool completely.
7
To glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the remaining orange juice (about 1/4 cup) with a whisk. Pour over the cake and allow to dry. Store in the refrigerator or freeze.
