Ingredients
1¾ cup flour, plus extra to flour loaf pan
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1½ tsp ground cloves
1½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ cup room temperature butter (1 stick), plus extra to grease loaf pan
1½ cup granulated sugar
2 room temperature eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest and juice of 2 clementines
2 cups full fat plain Greek yogurt (divided)
1½ cups confectioners sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Prepare loaf pan by greasing well with butter then sprinkling a little flour.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to beat softened butter and sugar until light and airy.
Add two eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract and clementine zest while continuing to mix.
Alternate adding ½ of the whisked dry ingredients, followed by ½ cup yogurt then juice of one clementine. Then add the rest of the dry ingredients, another ½ cup yogurt then the juice of the second clementine. Continue to mix until well combined.
Pour mixture into loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the loaf pan before removing and allowing to finish cooling on wire rack.
While loaf is baking, make icing by whisking yogurt and slowly adding confectioners sugar. You can stop adding sugar if you reach your ideal consistency. If icing is too thick, break it up with a little milk or cream.
Allow the loaf to reach room temperature prior to applying icing.
