This orange cake is simple and delicious. It is a recipe from my great-grandmother Annie that I didn't get to meet. I was extremely fortunate to know and love three great-grandmothers, the last one passed when I was 20yrs old. My mum has been doing family history and found out Annie was a Milliner! How cool is that - oh how I wished I had one Millinery tool of hers. Anyway, to the cake...
Ingredients
- 125g butter, softened
- 125g sugar
- 125g self raising flour
- 2 eggs
- Juice and finely grated rind of one orange
Method
Beat butter and sugar till light and creamy, add eggs, then flour, juice and rind.
Bake in a loaf tin for 40 minutes in a moderate oven 180 deg c.
NB: I made mine with 1 cup of dextrose instead of sugar as I am lowering our families sugar intake.
