This is a very delicious orange cake, very soft, light, crumbly, flavourful and buttery! Highly recommended by Jess. I tried out the recipe right away the next day after seeing her post. It's so nice that my colleague asked me to bake one for her. So I already baked this twice within a month. Definitely is a keeper. Thanks Jess for sharing!
Sicilian Orange Cake
Recipe adapted from J3ss Kitchen
Ingredients:
250g castor sugar (I used 190g)
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp finely grated orange zest (I use zest of one large size orange)
250g self raising flour (sifted)
85ml freshly squeezed orange juice (approx 1 orange)
Method:
Preheat oven to 170C. Grease and line the base of a 22cm round cake pan or 2 sets 8" x 3" loaf tin
1. Using a electrical beater, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, if necessary adding a spoonful of flour with the last egg to prevent the mixture from curdling. Beat in the orange zest. Add the flour all at once and mix well, then slowly mix in the orange juice.
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 45-50mins or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake, comes out clean. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with a sheet of lightly greased aluminum foil.
4. Leave the cake, in the pan, to cool on a wire rack, then unmold and place it on a serving plate to cool completely before serving. *** I unmould immediately to cool.
