This recipe is an old favourite. All the ingredients are thrown together into one bowl and beaten. The result is a light, buttery citrus cake, perfect for this time of year. The oranges can be replaced with lemons or limes for a different citrus twist!
Ingredients:
Cake
125g (4.4oz) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tbsp orange zest
Orange icing
25g (1oz) butter, melted
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp orange zest
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line a loaf tin.
Place all the cake ingredients into a large mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy, approx 3 minutes.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
When cold, ice with orange icing. To make the icing, place all the icing ingredients in a small bowl and mix until well combined.
