Oh well, I hope everything will go smoothly and I hope I still have the time to bake as much as last year.
Now....my very first bake this year...Orange Butter Cake!! Freshly baked from my oven 2 hours ago and I can't wait to post it already...;p
A recipe adapted from one of my favourite collection, "I love Butter Cake from Kevin Chai".Anyway I coverted his recipe from Lemon Butter to Orange..:D And worry that oranges scent will not be as strong as Lemons, I've made some changes here.
Result was wonderful, the cake was just the right taste as I wanted it to be...nice!Recipe for 7" square pan:
160g butter
80g margarine
155g sugar
3 eggs (whole)
1 egg white
3 tbsps orange juice
2 tsps grated orange rind
1/2 tbsp "sunquick" orange nectar
200g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Method:
~ Beat butter, margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
~ Add in eggs one at a time, then add in orange juice, rind and nectar.
~ Fold in flour and baking powder, pour into prepared pan and bake at 175'C for 30-35 minutes.
I've made some into cupcakes for my daughter to bring to school tomorrow. I find that kids like cakes in paper cups more than slices, but anyway that will be easier to handle. Besides that, I baked some with my new heart shape pan..haha! Bought them from Daiso months ago but only have the chance to use it now....love the shape and the size...:)
Happy Baking!!
The first cake I learnt from Form 3 Home Science class :)

ReplyDeleteHalo my friend! Ohh...hope you won't get too busy this year. :P Thanks for this Orange butter cake recipe! I was worried about how am I gonna use up the 5 oranges in my fridge, lol!
ReplyDeleteYumm, i could almost taste the citrus flavour off the screen!
ReplyDeleteI like the nice orangy colour of the cake. I love any citrusy cakes. That is why you see most of my bake goods will have some kind of citrus in it.
ReplyDeleteI love orange cakes. Im sure this one will taste fantastic too. Do you think I can replace the margarine with butter? Will it affect the end result?
