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:
- In an electric mixer beat together caster sugar and butter using medium speed until creamy.
- Add in the three eggs and beat again using low speed until fluffy and creamy.
- Add in the pre-mix flour, baking powder and salt and mix with a spatula.
- 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.
- Lastly, fold in orange zest and give it a quick mix.
- 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.
- It can be serve warm or cool.
