Preheat the oven to 350° and grease a 9×5 or 8x4 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl or Kitchen Aid mixer, add the two large eggs and beat until frothy, around 1-2 minutes.
Add the remaining wet ingredients: sugar, yogurt, melted coconut oil, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. At medium speed, mix everything for 30 seconds.
At low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients: gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean from the center. The top of the loaf will be a nice golden brown color.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool for 2 hours. (Allow the bread to completely cool to room temperature before adding the glaze).
For the glaze, whisk together the ingredients in a small bowl, then carefully pour or spoon the glaze over the top of the cake-like bread.
Store the bread in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in aluminum foil at room temperature for up to 3 days. The bread becomes moister and more flavorful over time.

This bread develops more intense flavor and moisture over time. Allow the bread to completely cool to room temperature before storing.
Add the glaze to the bread prior to serving.
If using maple syrup as a refined sugar-free option, adjust the baking time to 35-40 minutes.
