Orange pound cake

One day..I was craving for orange or lemon cake. So, that evening I head off to the supermarket & buy some oranges. I normally bake lemon poppy seed cake but this time, I guess I go with orange.:)

But sorry yeah...no picture. Too busy getting the cake done & entertaining the lil' one who is constantly on my feet or rummaging stuffs in my kitchen cabinet!! Here's the ingredients;

- 2 stick unsalted butter (226 gm)

- 2 cups of granulated sugar

- 4 eggs

- 1/3 cup of grated orange zest ( u need around 6 oranges)

- 3 cups of flour

- 1/2 tsp of baking powder

- 1/2 tsp of baking soda

- 1 tsp of salt

- 1/2 cup of freshly squeeze orange juice

- 3/4 cup of creme fraiche

- 1 tsp of vanilla extract

1. Cream the butter with sugar together until light & fluffy. Then add the egg one at a time. Add the orange zest.

2. In another bowl,sift the flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt.In a different bowl, combine the orange juice,creme fraiche and vanilla. Add the flour and creme fraiche mixture into the batter alternately. Beginning with the flour and end with flour. Divide the batter evenly into two pans ( If you only use one load pan, divide the ingredients into half ok..)

3. Bake the cake in a 185C for 45 min to 1 hr. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes and there you goes...u have your orange cake! 

Enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee or tea. Simply marvellous!
