Ingredients

Servings
  • 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
  • cup sour cream
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites until fluffy. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, butter, sugar, and orange zest using a hand mixer until well combined.
  4. In another large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sour cream, and orange juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the butter and egg yolk mixture to the flour mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Finally, fold in the egg whites gently until just incorporated, maintaining the fluffiness of the mixture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake mold, filling it about ⅔ full.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing it.
  10. 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!
