how to cook Best Easy Orange Cake?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 175°C (350⁰F). In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, and give it a good stir.

STEP 2

Next, grab a large bowl and place your softened butter in it. Use a mixer at medium speed to beat the butter until it’s nice and creamy. Then, add sugar and vanilla sugar to the bowl and continue beating until everything is well combined.

TIPS: If your butter is too hard, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it up and make it easier to whip.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

STEP 3

Now, it’s time to add some zest to this mixture! Toss in some orange zest and squeeze in some fresh orange juice. This will give your cake a lovely citrusy flavor.

TIPS: Want to make the orange flavor in the cake even better? Just grind some sugar with freshly grated orange zest. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

STEP 4

One by one, add the eggs to the mixture, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition. This will ensure that everything is evenly incorporated.

STEP 5

Gradually add the flour mixture into the egg-butter mixture, using a mixer at low speed. Keep mixing until you have a smooth dough.

STEP 6

Take a 28cm round baking tin and grease it with butter. Sprinkle some flour on top to prevent sticking. Pour your dough into the prepared tin and use a spatula to smooth out the top.

STEP 7

Now, pop the tin into your preheated to 175°C (350⁰F) oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

STEP 8

Once it’s done, leave the cake in the tin for 5 minutes. This will make it easier to remove from the tin. Then, carefully take it out of the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.

STEP 9

Once the cake is cooled, it’s time to get creative with the decorations! Whip up some cream and spread it over the top of the cake. Add some peeled orange slices and strips of orange zest for an extra burst of flavor and a beautiful presentation.

STEP 10

Now, it’s time to enjoy your masterpiece! Cut the Best Easy Orange Cake into equal pieces and serve it alongside a nice cup of tea. Bon appétit!
