Orange Cake 7Aug2010

Ingredient:

250g lightly salted butter, at room temperature
250g caster sugar (I reduced this to 200g)
4 medium eggs
1 1/2 tsp finally grated orange zest
250g self raising flour
85ml freshly squeezed orange juice

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 170c. Grease and line a 22cm round cake tin
2. Cream butter and sugar together till light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating very well between each addition. Beat in the orange zest. Add the flour all at once and mix well, then slowly add in orange juice.
3. Pour mixture into greased cake tin and bake at 170c for 45-50min or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
4. Cool cake before serving.
