Ingredients
- 225 g butter
- 225 g caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 225 g self-raising flour
- 1 orange (juice and zest only)
- 90 g icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
- Put 225 g Butter and 225 g Caster sugar into a large bowl and beat together until fluffy.
- Add 4 Eggs and whisk well.
- Add 225 g Self-raising flour and zest of 1 Orange and gently fold everything together until smooth. Don't over mix at this point.
- Pour into a loaf tin lined with baking paper. Put in the oven for 50-55 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
- Mix together 90 g Icing sugar and juice from 1 Orange. Using a fork or knife, make holes in the loaf and then pour the orange icing all over it.
- Leave to cool and then slice.
Notes
- If you want a more intense orange flavour, add the zest from an extra orange. Don't add any extra orange juice to the icing though, unless you add more icing sugar.
- Swap the orange for lemon or lime (or a mixture of both) for something a little different.
- If your cake starts to look like it is burning on top, cover it in foil and continue cooking until a skewer comes out clean.
- Add some chocolate chips to the mixture for a delicious chocolate orange combination.
- To ensure that your cake is cooked all the way through and doesn't burn either, use an oven thermometer to make sure it gets to the correct temperature for the recipe.
- Don't over mix the batter once you add the flour and orange zest. This can cause the cake to not rise.
