Orange Cake Recipe

This quick orange cake is delicious even without the icing. I sometimes just sprinkle icing sugar or chocolate on the top. 

Cake Ingredients:
140g butter softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups self raising flour
3/4 cup milk
juice and rind of 1 orange (if you want the intense orangey taste, use the zest of 3 oranges)


 How to make the orange cake recipe

For the cake:

Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a 20cm tin.
Cream butter with sugar. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each one.
Fold in flour alternately with milk.
Fold in orange juice and rind/zest
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. At 35 minutes, insert skewer in to the centre of the cake and if it comes out cleanly, remove from oven and cool in tin for a few minutes before cooling on a cake rack.
For the chocolate sauce cream:

This has to be the simplest chocolate sauce cream to make.

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup whipping cream

1-2 Tbsp liquor [optional]

• Warm the cream in a double sauce pan or in the microwave.

• Do NOT boil cream.

• Add the chocolate to the warm cream.

• Mix it gently with a fork until cream absorbs all the chocolate.

• Stir in 1-2 Tbsp of liquor.
