Actually, oranges are everywhere in the market, “Citrus season” of course. They are beautiful and so aromatic. Yesterday, I decided to bake a delicious Orange Cake for our tea time. Easy and really delicious. The texture is extremely moist and just melt in the mouth.

Ingredients:

• 200g of sifted plain flour/all purpose flour
• 200g of caster sugar
• 5g of baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• Zest of 1 orange
• 6 large eggs
• 80g of sunflower oil
• 80g of orange juice

Method:

1. Grease a round pan cake (20 cm or 22 cm)
2. Whisk the eggs, the sugar and the orange zest until  it becomes light, creamy and double in size.
3. Add the flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt.
4. Mix all the ingredients together.
5. Finally pour the orange juice and the sunflower oil.
6. Mix again and pour the batter into the greased pan.
7. Bake at 180C degrees for 40 mn (more or less depending of the oven).
8. Remove the cake and allow cooling for 30mn.
9. Transfer the cake to a serving plate and dust with some icing sugar.

Perfect for our tea time.

Bonne dégustation!
