If there’s a menu item that screams “brunch” we’re pretty sure the mimosa is at the very top of the list. With plenty of bubbles and tangy orange juice, it’s a cocktail that’s deemed acceptable to drink before noon and it never fails to make the occasion feel like a celebration. For today’s recipe I’ve truly doubled down on the brunch theme and created the perfect celebratory loaf: Mimosa Bread!

This loaf is bursting with orange flavor and even has some champagne baked right into the batter. The addition of sour cream makes for an extra rich and moist texture that’s sure to have everyone coming back for more. But, the step that really puts it over the top is the champagne icing. Simple to whip up, it’s made with powdered sugar, champagne, and orange zest, and is drizzled over the cooled loaf. Sprinkle some additional orange zest over the icing for a stunning finish. It’s almost too pretty to cut into!

It goes without saying that this treat is the perfect choice for your brunch menu, but it’s tasty enough you’ll want to make it for any occasion. I love to enjoy a slice with my morning coffee and you can even freeze a loaf for a little future treat (you may want to double the recipe if you go that route so you can enjoy something on baking day as well!). Give this recipe a try the next time you’re hosting brunch and we’re sure it will be a hit!
