guidelines
Set the oven to preheat:
- Dust a 9-inch round cake pan (or loaf pan) with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Additionally, for simpler removal, you can line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Combine the granular ingredients.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Whip the sugar and butter together.
- In a another bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter together for two to three minutes, or until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Making the cake lighter and more airy is aided by this step.
4. Incorporate the moist components.
- Stir thoroughly after each addition of eggs, one at a time. After that, stir in the milk, vanilla extract, orange zest, and juice. Blend until well blended.
5. Mix the liquid and dry ingredients together:
- Mix everything just till it’s fully blended after gradually adding the dry components to the wet ones. Don’t overmix, please.
6. Make the cake:
- Smooth the top of the batter after pouring it into the prepared cake pan. When a toothpick is placed into the center, the baked food should come out clean after 30 to 35 minutes. Golden brown is how the top should look.
7. Let the Cake Cool:
- When the cake is almost cool, take it out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to finish cooling.
8. Apply the optional glaze:
- Puree the orange juice and powdered sugar until smooth if you prefer a straightforward glaze. For added taste, add orange zest. Over the cooled cake, drizzle the glaze.
In serving mode:
- Garnish the cake with powdered sugar or serve it just as is. With a cup of tea or coffee, it is the perfect match!
A word of advice:
- You can use a combination of orange and lemon zest or even add more orange zest for an added citrus flavor.
- Incorporate chopped nuts or dried cranberries for an unexpected touch to add additional texture.
- Remaining cake can be refrigerated for up to a week or kept at room temperature for up to three days in an airtight container.
Take pleasure in each bite’s revitalizing citrus kick!
