This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. They said it was the best orange bread they had ever had. I think I would try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This bread was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious! I didn't have any orange curd on hand, so I used a jar of lemon curd instead. It was still delicious and the lemon flavor paired perfectly with the orange flavor in the bread.
