Orange Cake
is one of the best citrus infused cakes that I have eaten.I have always been a huge fan of citrus-y kind of cake.
Tangy from citrus that combines well with sweet and buttery taste and texture of a baked cake is just superbly delicious.
What makes this Orange Cake so tasty?
Using quality ingredients in any bake will yield a good result.With that in mind, I find success in baking my orange cake.
My orange cake turned out soft, moist, with smaller crumbs and of course delicious!
I used President butter for this cake.
I made my own cake flour. Plain flour or all purpose flour make the cake a little heavier.
And finally, I use bakers' baking cake golden ratio, that is 1:1:1:1
The ratio is by weight and not cup.

What is Cake Ratio?
The butter cake golden ratio is to use equal weight of FLOUR: BUTTER: SUGAR: EGGS., hence the 1:1:1:1Do note that I lower my sugar content in this orange cake but within the 20% tolerance.
I use Australian Jumbo size egg. Approximate weight 50 to 55g with shell.
Easy way to remember :
1. Weight of FLOUR equal to BUTTER equal to EGGS equal to SUGAR!

My first orange cake, was stuck to the bundt mould, because I forgot to do the step above!!

** Point to take note when mixing the batter, every time egg is added, the batter may look like it will split, do not fret! Just add 1 tablespoon of cake flour and your problem is solved!
Add orange zest!!! My photo somehow is missing from my folder.
