When I was a kid, my mom used to make an orange cake for my brother’s birthday every year. Back then, I hated it because it reminded me of baby aspirin. I detested anything with even a hint of orange flavor. Finding myself with a bowl of tangerines in danger of going bad one day, I decided to try and make a similar cake to the one my mom did all those years ago. Our tastes change over time after all, and now I love any citrus cake. So much that I have created several recipes including my Ultimate Orange Cake.
For the Cake:
Simply mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until fully combined. Pour into a loaf tin Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
To glaze the cake
Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or a fork. Pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink into the cake and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping. Serve and enjoy!
