Light in Flavour

When you want a delicate sweetness in your baking, using White Sugar or Caster Sugar can provide a subtle sweetness that enhances the other flavours without overpowering them.

Fruity

Using fruit can add a natural, fruity sweetness to baking, creating a refreshing, light flavour or adding sweet tartness. White Sugar or Caster Sugar in baking, allows the flavour of the fruit to shine and Jam Setting Sugar preserves the taste of fruit in vibrant jams.

Nutty

Coconut Sugar bring a subtle nuttiness to baked goods, elevating the taste with a mild, natural sweetness and pairs beautifully with tropical flavours.

Spiced

Using sugars with spices like cinnamon, ginger, licorice or chai can lend a warm, aromatic sweetness to baking.

Caramel

Utilising brown sugars or incorporating caramelised sugar syrups creates a richer, deeper flavor profile, adding a hint of caramel or toffee-like taste.

Chocolate

Chocolate adds a decadent richness to baked goods with its deep cocoa flavour, making it perfect for indulgent treats. Try adding a deep flavoured Brown Sugar to the mix for enhanced chocolate flavour.

I've had this recipe for years but never attempted to make it. I finally took the plunge because I'm a 3- 4 ingredients kinda girl. So when I saw this recipe, I shoved it to the bottom of the pile. Big mistake! It's one of my family's all time favorite! It is delicious, delicious, delicious ! You must give it go.

based on the batter - it's still in the oven, cooking, it will be immensely tasty!

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and paper line the bases of three 21cm shallow cake tins (sponge tins) sprinkle the tins with flour then shake out the excess.

In a large bowl, beat together the butter and both sugars until creamy, add the juice and rind of the orange then the eggs one at a time. Mix in the sour cream, dry ingredients and milk. Divide the mixture between the 3 prepared tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the cake tins to a cooling rack and cool 10 minutes before turning out to cool completely. Spread the icing between the layers and across the top and sides. This cake cuts into at least 10-12 servings and keeps well for up to 5 days.

Orange Cream Cheese Icing : Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter with the orange rind. Add the vanilla essence and sour cream and beat until combined. Add icing sugar a cup at a time until the mixture is a firm icing consistency.
