orange cake




Ingredients:
250gm butter (room temperature)
2 spoon orange zest
250gm sugar
4 eggs
300gm flour
1 spoon baking powder
1/2 tea spoon salt
180ml orange juice
1 tea spoon vanilla essence

Method:
Add the sugar, butter and orange zest into the mixer bowl. Beat well until nicely fluffy. Add 4 eggs and follow by vanilla essence. Continue adding the orange juice and flour (shifted together with baking powder & salt) at a time until it is all mixed in. Shake the mixture off the whisk attachment and remove the bowl. Using your rubber spatula, give it a quick mix by hand to make sure that everything is completely blended. Pour the batter into the spring form tin and spread it into the edges and the mould of the tin, finally smoothing over the top. Place the tin into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for roughly 60 minutes in 160 degree celcius. Once baked remove from the oven and allow to cool down before serving.
