Ingredients
– 3 large eggs
– ¾ cup (160g) caster sugar
– 1 ⅓ cup (160g) all-purpose flour, sifted
– ¾ teaspoon baking powder
– ⅔ cup (150g) salted butter, melted
– Juice of 1 orange (about ¼ cup or 60 ml)
– Zest of 1 orange
Instructions
1-First, whisk the 3 large eggs and ¾ cup (160g) caster sugar until they become pale and fluffy; this step is crucial for a light texture.
2-Next, sift in the 1 ⅓ cup (160g) all-purpose flour and ¾ teaspoon baking powder, then gently stir to combine without overmixing.
3-Add the ⅔ cup (150g) melted salted butter, along with the juice and zest of 1 orange (about ¼ cup or 60 ml juice), and mix until just combined for even flavor distribution.
4-Pour the batter into your prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.
5-Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean; cooling completely before serving helps set the cake.
