Ingredients

butter 110g, softened
golden caster sugar 180g
plain flour 180g
baking powder 2 tsp
milk 4 tbsp
orange 1, zest grated
eggs 2, large
oranges 2, juiced

golden caster sugar 100g

Method

Step 1

Butter and line a 500g loaf tin. Put all the cake ingredients in a bowl and beat with an electric beater until smooth. Scrape into the tin and bake at 180c/fan 160c/gas 4 for 45 minutes, until golden and a skewer poked in comes out clean. Leave in the tin.
Step 2

To make the syrup, gently melt together the juices and sugar. Poke a skewer all over the cake, then pour over half the hot syrup. Cool in the tin, then serve with yoghurt or crème fraîche and the remaining syrup.
