Orange Drizzle Cake

170 g white caster sugar (superfine sugar)

butter

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.

Orange drizzle cake

This Orange Drizzle Cake is zesty, moist and delicious! An easy all-in-one orange sponge drizzled with orange syrup that will delight citrus lovers.

330 g (1 ⅔ cups) caster sugar (or granulated)

tbsp baking powder

½ tbsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)

oranges zest only

120 ml (½ cup) whole milk

80 ml (⅓ cup) orange juice

oranges, juice only

sugar

tbsp orange liqueur (optional)

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Mist a 23cm (9inch) cake tin with cake release spray and line the bottom with baking paper.

Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and orange zest into a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine using a small whisk.

Add the orange juice, milk, butter and eggs. Beat using an electric hand mixer until the batter is smooth. You might need to stop and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is mixed well.

Spoon the batter into the prepared tin and level. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the cake feels springy to the touch and a skewer inserter in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Prepare the orange syrup by mixing orange juice and sugar. Use a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, still in the cake tin.

Drizzle the syrup over the cake letting it sink in. Allow the cake to cool before gently inverting onto a platter. Decorate with small orange slices or leave plain. Slice and serve and expect everyone to ask for seconds!
