Ingredients:
- 150g of butter (softened)
- the zest and juice of 2 large oranges
- 2/3 of a cup of caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups of self-raising flour
- 1/4 of a cup of milk
How To Make It:
1. Preheat oven to 160˚C, fan forced
2. Grease and line the base of a 20cm round cake pan (make sure it is quite a deep pan)
3. Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl
4. Use an electric mixer, and beat on low speed until combined
5. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is changed in colour and smooth
6. Spread into prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is browning and a skewer inserted comes out clean
7. Leave the cake in the pan for about 2 minutes to cool, and then turn onto a wire rack to cool
Icing (it's a bit makeshift, but tastes good)
1. Put about 2 tablespoons of butter into a medium bowl (add more if you like your icing buttery, like me)
2.Put about 4 tablespoons of icing sugar into the bowl, and mash it up (using a fork) until it is a really rough paste
3. Add in the juice from 1 orange, and stir (add more of each ingredient until it is the right consistency)
4. Spread onto cold cake, and add sprinkles or writing icing, or leave it plain :)
