How to Prepare Orange Poppy Lazy Loaf [Vegan]

First pull of the hard stem of the orange is there are any and check the oranges for seeds by slicing them in half and remove seeds if there are any. The skins stay on the orange, so leave that intact.
Place all of the ingredients except for the poppy seeds into a food processor and processor until smooth batter (about 1 minute)
The orange goes in whole, skin and all! The skin is where the oil essence is and that gives the cake a beautiful orange flavor and fragrance unmatched by just the juice or any extract. Just be sure to cut them open first to see if there are any seeds, in which case remove the seeds first.
Fold in poppy seeds and pour batter into a greased loaf pan
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan until you are able to touch it with your hands without burning them, then flip the loaf out onto a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.
Combine the confectioners sugar with the orange juice and zest and whisk smooth, pour over the loaf cake.
