Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened, salted
- 4 egg separated, large
- 1 cup granulated sugar 200g
- 1-2 Tablespoons orange zest (from 1 orange)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 212 grams
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a loaf mold or 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking spray or grease it with flour and butter, then set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until fluffy. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, butter, sugar, and orange zest using a hand mixer until well combined.
- In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sour cream, and orange juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the butter and egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Finally, fold in the egg whites gently until just incorporated, maintaining the fluffiness of the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake mold, filling it about ⅔ full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing it.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and garnish with extra orange slices before serving.
Notes
- Store: Once cooled, store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: To reheat, allow the cake to thaw at room temperature, then warm slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
- Make Ahead: You can make this cake a day or two in advance. Just store it tightly wrapped at room temperature, and dust with powdered sugar right before serving to keep it looking fresh!
