Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 cup of sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light. You can do this using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
- Add the 3 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and continue to mix until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of self-raising flour and 1/4 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture while alternating with 3/4 cup of sour cream. Begin with the flour mixture and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in 2 tablespoons of orange zest and 1 tablespoon of orange juice into the batter, stirring gently to ensure even distribution.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once the cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cake onto a wire rack placed over a baking tray or sheet of parchment to catch any drips.
- While the cake is still warm, pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
- Slice the cake and serve it as desired.
Tips:
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This ensures they mix together more evenly and you get a smoother batter.
- When zesting the orange, be careful to only get the outer colorful skin and avoid the white pith, which can be bitter.
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. One medium orange should yield about the right amount of juice and zest needed for this recipe.
- When combining the wet and dry ingredients, do not overmix. Overmixing can lead to a denser, tougher cake.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour. For this recipe, adjust the quantities accordingly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or adding a glaze. This will help the glaze to set properly and not run off the cake.
There you have it, a delicious Orange Sour Cream Cake with a perfect balance of tangy citrus and creamy richness. By following these steps and tips, you’ll create a cake that’s not only beautiful to look at but also delectable with every bite. Enjoy your baking, and happy eating!
