Orange Cake

Orange Cake 

Adapted from: Nisa Homey's Orange Cake Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

Butter: 2½ tbspn

Sugar: ⅓ cup

Flour: ⅔ cups

Egg:1

Orange Juice**: half of ⅓ cup (I used readymade tetra pack) 

Salt: a pinch

Baking powder: ½ tspn + 1 small pinch

Orange rind: 1 tspn

Orange essence: ½ tspn (optional) 

METHOD:

--Preheat oven to 180 degree C (350) and grease and flour a standard baking tray. I used aluminum foil container.

--Cream butter and sugar, I used granulated sugar. Beat for a min.

--Add in the egg and beat again, for about 2 mins or until fluffy and creamy.

--Add in the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. If you are using salted butter, omit the salt.

**The batter should be fluffy and not loose. So when you add orange juice, add accordingly until you get the consistency... maybe you might need a little more or little less. 

--Now add in the orange juice (and orange essence if using) and whisk or fold lightly. 

--Finally fold in the orange rind.

--Pour the batter in a greased and floured loaf tray and bake it in a preheated oven at 180 degree C for 30-45 mins or until done.

MY TIPS:

Keep the ingredients ready before starting the process. 

All the ingredients must be in room temperature.
