1/2 cup margarine generous 1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbsp plain yogurt

1 Preheat a 180 F oven and grease a 1-pound loaf pan. Blend the margarine and sugar together until light. Add the yogurt.
2 Beat the eggs in a separate bowl with a little of the flour. Sift the rest of the flour with the baking soda and mix all the ingredients together.
3 Gradually add the eggs to the margarine mixture, stirring constantly. When mixed, add the flour. Finally add the orange zest.
