Cake. Citrus. One-bowl baking.
If these words send a shiver down your spine, then this recipe is for you. It is a very easy recipe that can be different every time you make it if you swap the oranges for lemons, limes, grapefruit, or a mix of juices. You get a not-too-sweet, moist cake that will be gone before the day is over.
Remember to use exact measurements to get perfect results.
Ingredients
Drizzle
- ½ cup superfine sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 3 large eggs
- 2/3 cup superfine sugar
- 2/3 cup salted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch cake pan well using butter and flour.
Step 2
Combine flour, eggs, sugar, butter, orange juice, orange zest, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until batter comes together and is pale in color. Pour into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack with a tray underneath.
Step 4
While cake cools, combine sugar and orange juice for drizzle in a small bowl. Pour over the still-warm cake. Let cool completely before slicing.
Cook’s Note:
You can use unsalted butter instead of salted.
