Traditional Orange Cake

As usual I can't help trying out new recipes with any leftover oranges in my fridge. Anything traditional has always been sentimental to me. Thus, I am trying out this simple recipe which turns out deliciously yummy with fabulous texture for my palate.  


Ingredients:
4 oz unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup caster sugar
2 cups flour (sifted)
2 tsp baking powder (sifted)
3 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 tsp orange zest

Methods:

  1. In an electric mixer beat together caster sugar and butter using medium speed until creamy.
  2. Add in the three eggs and beat again using low speed until fluffy and creamy.
  3. Add in the pre-mix flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a spatula.
  4. Add orange juice in few additions and fold until you get the right consistency (you might need to add a little more or less). Batter should be springy and fluffy not loose and runny.
  5. Lastly, fold in orange zest and give it a quick mix.
  6. Pour the batter in a lined cake tin and bake in preheated oven of 170 degree Celsius for about 40 - 45 minutes until done or when a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  7. It can be serve warm or cool.
