Scale
- Key Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tbsp fresh orange zest
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- 2. Prepare the Oranges:
- Zest two medium-sized fresh oranges into a bowl. Juice the same oranges until you have about half a cup of fresh juice; set aside.
- 3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- 4. Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about five minutes.
- 5. Add Eggs and Orange Flavor:
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually pour in orange juice and zest while mixing until fully combined.
- 6. Combine Mixtures:
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- 7. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool for ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
