Sicilian Orange Cake

Sicilian Orange Cake

Dah lama sangat teringin nak makan kek oren ni. selalu kalau pegi mana2 bakery yang tinggal only Butter cake. Ntah kenapa tekak ni nak sangat. hehe mengada-ngada nama nya. :-)

Lagi pun kek oren ni salah satu kek yang sangat mudah dan bahan2 nya juga adalah basic. Tak adalah renyah sangat as long as kita ikut step dia dengan betul. Puashati dapat baked kek ni. Untuk resepi ini saya ambil dari blog Kak Rima. I adored her baked skills and various of dessert recipes yang dia share.

Ingredients

250 g lightly salted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing

250 g caster sugar – ( I cut down to 190g)
4 medium eggs 

1 1/2 tsp finely grated orange zest
250 g self raising flour (i used plain flour and add 1 tsp of baking powder)
85 ml freshly squeezed orange juice

Method

Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and line a 22-cm clip-sided round cake with non-stick baking paper.
Using an electric whisk, cream the butter and sugar together for 4-5 minutes until very pale. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating very well between each one, if necessary adding a spoonful of flour with the last egg to prevent the mixture from curdling. Beat in the orange zest. Add the flour all at once and mix in well, then slowly mix in the orange juice.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer, inserted into the centre of the cake, comes out clean. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with a sheet of lightly buttered foil.

Leave the cake, in its tin, to cool on a wire rack, then carefully remove the sides and base of the tin and peel off the paper. Put it onto a serving plate.
