One of the most popular offerings is this rich and moist orange loaf, made by using fresh, natural ingredients that include fresh orange juice with orange tang. Surprise your family or friends by baking this orange loaf, a perfect treat for a tea break and absolutely delicious. This orange cake is cooked in a loaf tin to achieve the classic loaf shape. Orange loaf cake is simple to make and an easy family favourite, a cake that is hard to get wrong. The detailed recipe with step by step cooking pictures follows.
Since the star of this recipe is orange, get a fresh orange that has vibrant color and smells like fresh orange, if the orange tasted bad, believe me, you will taste it in the cake. I love this cake because of its simple elegance, and the intense orange flavor that comes from the cake. This is a simple cake that’s great for beginners to try. The recipe is very basic without having to worry about spending hours in the kitchen or struggling with different techniques because it doesn’t need frosting.
Tips- For a lemon- flavoured cake, just use a lemon instead of the orange. Here I am not doing any frosting, but if you’d like to frost it with cream or simply drizzle with any syrup, you are free to do so.
