Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F 
First, mix all of the bowl 1 ingredients together and set aside. The secret to this entire recipe is the dry mustard. Trust me on this one!

Next, Combine butter and sugar together, then add remaining ingredients into bowl 2. Don’t forget the freshly grated orange zest! Using a mixer, add the dry to the wet until well blended. The batter will be thick.

Finally, pour your batter into pan. To line your pan, use parchment paper and clips to hold it all down. Bake the loaf for about an hour, until the middle doesn’t jiggle. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Frosting:
4 oz cream cheese brought to room temperature

While your loaf is baking, it’s time to whip up the frosting! Using a mixer, combine all 3 ingredients until smooth.
Finally, pour the entire batch of frosting over your cooled loaf and spread evenly. Cut your slices and enjoy!
