The Best Orange Glaze (Orange Icing for Cake)

butter

sugar

heavy cream (or half and half)

tbsp orange zest

orange juice

vanilla

Place all the ingredients in a bowl, starting with 2 tbsp of heavy cream. Mix until well combined and smooth. I like to use a whisk. If needed, add more cream 1 tsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Use on cakes, pound cake, cookies, cinnamon rolls, scones, or other baked goods.

Orange Drizzle Cake

170 g white caster sugar (superfine sugar)

eggs

170 g self-raising white flour (self rising flour)

oranges (unwaxed)

tbsp icing sugar (powdered sugar)

Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan, 350F).

Beat the sugar and butter (or margarine) in a large bowl until pale and fluffy.

Add the beaten eggs.

Beat until smooth

Sieve the flour into the bowl

Gently fold through.

Add the zest of 1 orange and the juice of 1/2 an orange.

Gently fold through until evenly distributed through the batter.

Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line with baking paper. Spoon the batter into the tin and level off.

Bake at for 20-25 minutes until the cake has gently risen and turned golden brown. It should feel firm at the centre and you can check it is cooked through by pushing a skewer into the centre of the cake. It should come out clean.

Use a skewer or cocktail stick to poke holes all over the hot cake, almost to the bottom.

Put the juice of 1 orange in a microwave-safe bowl with the icing sugar, mix well and microwave for 60 seconds until you have a syrup. Note: it will be VERY hot, so handle with care.

Spoon or pour the hot syrup all over the hot cake and allow it to sink in. Leave to cool completely.
