Easy Orange Loaf Cake

I have finally christened my new kitchen! Woo! =)
I was feeling restless and decided to do some midnight baking!
This recipe is for a wonderfully moist and fragrant orange cake with an orange drizzle on top. SO GOOD! And perfect to have for tea the next day.
You can always opt not to add in the drizzle or substitute it with any other frosting of your choice. I baked mine in a loaf tin, but it can be baked in a 9inch round tin as well.
