Orange Butter Cake
This Orange Butter Cake is one of the great dessert recipes that are easy desserts to prepare. The following simple dessert recipes call for freshly grated orange rind instead of orange juice. Choosing to use the rind actually gives citrus-derived baking recipes a stronger lingering citrus flavour and aroma.
Ingredients175 g Butter; at room temperature
175 g Castor Sugar
Grated Rind of 2 Oranges
3 Medium Eggs
Sift twice :
225 g Self-raising Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder; sifted with self-raising flour
4 tbsp Fresh Milk
Method
Cream butter with a mixer until light and add castor sugar. Beat well to build in as much air as possible in this mixture. Then add orange rind and continue beating for 5 minutes. Beat in whole eggs, one at a time. Should the mixture starts to curdle, add in a tablespoon of flour. Add in milk and beat until well-blended. Fold in flour gently with a spatula until the mixture starts to resemble a honeycomb texture. Pour mixture into prepared greased 21cm round baking pan. Bake in preheated oven at 160°C for about 1 hour or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre of the butter cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely before serving.
