About the Recipe
Cake. Citrus. One-bowl baking. If these words send a shiver down your spine, then this recipe is for you. It is a very easy recipe that can be different every time you make it if you swap the oranges for lemons, limes, grapefruit, or a mix of juices. Remember to use exact measurements to get perfect results.
Ingredients
For the cake
226 gr unsalted butter, room temp
175 gr sugar
4 large eggs
Zest of 1 large Oranges
225 gr flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
For the Orange Drizzle
Juice of 1 large orange
75 gr sugar
For the Orange Glaze
Juice of 1 large orange
200 gr powdered sugar
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. For the cake, in a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a hand mixer for 5 minutes. Add orange zest and 1 egg at a time, and beat until combined. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt, and fold to combine. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.
3. While the cake is baking, prepare the Orange Drizzle by whisking orange juice with sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
4. While the cake is still warm and in the loaf pan, poke holes with a skewer. Soak the cake with Orange Drizzle. Leave the cake in the pan to cool.
5. For the orange glaze, whisk orange juice and powdered sugar. Remove the cake from the pan and decorate the cake with the glaze.
