Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a baking dish or cake pan, or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Add the orange zest to the butter and sugar mixture and blend well. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
In a separate bowl, sift the self-raising flour to remove any lumps. You can also add a pinch of salt if desired.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the sifted flour to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the orange juice and milk. Begin and end with the flour. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish or cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and the edges should have started to pull away from the sides.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Orange Delicious cake as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh oranges for the zest and juice to get the best flavor.
- Soften the butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth batter.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients to avoid lumps.
- Do not over-mix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake.
- Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving for the best texture and flavor.
