Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place waxed paper in a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Set it aside.
Step 2
Mix the butter and the 1 cup of sugar together in a bowl. Add the egg, orange juice, the zest, and the salt, then mix well.
Step 3
Add the flour and baking soda until it is also mixed well.
Step 4
Next, divide the dough evenly into thirds. Press one third of the dough into the bottom of the 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Step 5
Place another third of the dough back into the mixing bowl, adding the orange food coloring until it is well mixed. Place the orange dough on top of the white dough in the 9 x 5 inch loaf, pressing it down.
Step 6
In a clean mixing bowl, place the remaining third of the dough, adding the yellow food coloring, mixing it well. Add it to the loaf pan, pressing it down.
Step 7
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and put the loaf pan into the refrigerator for at least two hours or overnight, until firm.
Step 8
