Winter Baking Challenge. Cake # Eight - ORANGE CAKE

Due to the abundance of oranges in our house an orange cake seemed like the perfect option this week.
Filled with Vitamin C it must be healthy.....right? Or does the sugar and butter cancel that out, I hope not!!



RECIPE - ORANGE CAKE


(Adapted from Edmond's Cook Book Cupcake Recipe).


125g butter
1tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup sugar
2t grated orange rind
2 eggs
1 cup flour
2t baking powder
1/4 cup milk
juice of one orange


Cream butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Fold flour and baking powder into the creamed mixture. Add orange rind. Stir in milk and orange juice and mix until combined.
Spoon into a greased ring tin and bake at 190 degrees celcius until cake springs bake when lightly touched.


Cool and ice with orange icing.
