Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut with 5 g of the canola oil (about 1 teaspoon) on a sheet pan and roast 30–35 minutes until very soft. Mash smoothly and cool 15 minutes; you should have about 1 2/3 cups.
  2. Meanwhile toast the walnuts on a small pan in the oven for 6–8 minutes until fragrant, cool, then chop.
  3. Lower the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a little of the remaining canola oil and line it with parchment.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, cardamom and nutmeg.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, egg, the rest of the canola oil, the yogurt and the vanilla until smooth, then whisk in the mashed butternut.
  6. Fold the flour mixture into the butternut mixture just until no dry streaks remain, then fold in the walnuts.
  7. Scrape the batter into the pan and bake 60–65 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then lift onto a rack and cool completely, about 1 hour.
  9. Whisk the powdered sugar with the orange juice into a thick glaze, drizzle over the cooled loaf, let set 10 minutes, and cut into 12 slices.
