METHOD
1) Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C (fan)/gas mark 4. Line a loaf tin with baking paper.
2) Whisk together the baking spread and caster sugar until pale and fluffy. Sift in the flour and baking powder before adding the eggs, milk, and, zest. Mix until a smooth batter has formed.
3) Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf tin. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
4) As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, poke several holes in the top using a skewer or fork. Whisk the orange juice and caster sugar together and pour over the top of the cake. Leave on a wire rack to cool before serving.
