Orange Ring Cake

Ingredients:
175 gr of butter (room temperature)
175 gr of sugar (approximately 1,5 cups)
1 tablespoon of Golden Syrup or thick honey
3 oranges
2 eggs
200 gr of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/4 cup of milk 

How to:

1. Start with greasing a ring cake mould lightly with olive oil and pour in a tablespoon of Golden Syrup (or honey). This is very important as it will help the oranges to caramelize.

 

2.Grate the rind of two oranges at hand and put on a bowl, set aside. Peel and slice the oranges and put them neatly at the bottom of the mould.

At this point, turn your oven on for 160 degrees Celsius.

3. Cream the butter with sugar in a mixer at high speed. Add the eggs one by one and keep mixing until very well combined.

4. Sift the flour with the baking powder (you can use self-raising flour as well) into the mixture and add the orange rind, juice of one orange and milk. Stir with a spatula. 

5. The batter is not so liquidy, so pour it slowly into the baking tin and level with a spoon or spatula. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 45 - 50 minutes.

6. When you take your cake out of the oven, wait for at least 15-20 minutes before you transfer it onto the serving dish. Eat and enjoy!
