Ooh a recipe, haven't had one of those in a while!
One day while we were on our honeymoon, Josh and I stopped at a little bakery and bought an orange loaf cake for lunch, and it was divine. So I decided to try and recreate it, by doing the following:
Ingredients:
125g butter
250ml caster sugar (don't ask why this recipe used ml, just use a measuring jug and accept it!)
3 eggs
Zest and juice of 1 orange
250ml plain flour
1tsp baking powder
Method:
Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the eggs one by one and mix.
Pop in the flour and continue to stir until it's all mixed in, then add the baking powder.
Then add the zest, juice and baking powder and pour into a lined loaf tin (I used baking paper to line mine).
Finally put it in the bottom of a preheated oven at 175 degrees and bake for 50 minutes until golden brown.
It's that easy, and really delicious as well, goes down well with a mug of Earl Grey as demonstrated below. In fact you could probably even put some Lady Grey in the cake for added citrussy/tea-ey yummyness, now that's an idea!
You've probably noticed the pumpkins loitering in the background too, I carved a pumpkin last year which was actually the reason for starting this blog, and Josh & I intend to carve them tonight. I had a bit of a fiasco last week, in that by the time I went to buy the pumpkins they were all gone! Luckily Josh managed to find these beauties in Portobello Market, so we're having a competition to see who's carving is best, and hopefully will make a tradition out of it too :) The tools have been imported to the flat, the designs have been pondered & I'll make sure I pop them on here for your viewing pleasure.
Happy cake eating and belated Halloween,
