So I bought a bag of oranges for 99c at the supermarket a few weeks back because they were so cheap, but of course never got round to eating them. Today I found an awesome recipe I had written months ago for an orange cake and it is so simple and you're sure to have all the ingredients in the pantry. It's moist, delicious and perfect with a cup of coffee or for the kids lunch boxes. Serve with or without icing, whichever you prefer but it tastes great with either. Enjoy!
Orange cake
1 large or 2 small oranges
180g melted butter
3 eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
Icing
2 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 Tbsp melted butter
Juice of orange to get spreadable consistency.
Method:
1. Heat oven to 180 C and grease and line tin. I used a loaf tin, which is the perfect size or a cake tin would be fine as well.
2. Cut orange in to large chunks, leaving skin on, and chuck in food processor until blended.
3. Add 180g melted butter, eggs, flour, sugar and combine mixture.
4. Pour mix in to tin and bake for 35-40mins until golden and cake bounces back when touched.
5. Once done, leave to cool for ten minutes before icing.
6. For icing, sift icing sugar, add melted butter and then gradually add orange juice until you get a spreadable consistency and ice!
Serve with a bit of yoghurt/cream or just by itself! Yum!
