Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- To make the sponge, beat the sugar and the butter in a large bowl until creamy.
- Add the eggs one by one mixing well after each addition.
- Sift in the flour, add the baking powder, orange zest, milk and orange extract, and beat again to get a smooth batter.
- Grease and flour a loaf tin.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and firm to touch, and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- To make the drizzle, mix the orange juice and sugar together.
- When the cake is ready, pour the drizzle all over the sponge while it is hot, then leave to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Click on the US Customary link to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- Make sure the oven is preheated before adding the cake, the heat will help rise the cake straight away, bringing better results.
- The drizzle must be used as soon as the cake comes out of the oven, as the sponge will absorb it better, and the cake will have maximum flavour.
- Or, why not, add it to your menu for an Afternoon Tea to remember. Whatever the occasion, be sure to impress anyone with this scrumptious cake.
