Orange syrup cake

Orange syrup cake is a delightful dessert that combines the rich flavors of butter, sugar, and eggs with the refreshing taste of orange juice. This moist and flavorful cake is perfect for any occasion, from family gatherings to a simple treat with a cup of tea. The orange syrup, made with fresh orange juice and powdered sugar, adds an extra layer of sweetness and tanginess, making this cake truly irresistible.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup sugar
200g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 cup orange juice
200g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
3/4 cup greek yogurt
180g
1 tbsp honey
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer for this, starting on low speed and then increasing to medium.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Mix in the Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Carefully fold in the self-raising flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Orange Syrup:
- While the cake is baking, combine the orange juice, powdered sugar, and honey in a small saucepan.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is slightly thickened. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
5. Soak the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, place it on a serving plate.
- Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a skewer or a fork.
- Slowly pour the cooled orange syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Make sure the syrup is evenly distributed.
6. Serve:
- Allow the cake to rest for a few hours or overnight if possible, so the syrup fully melds with the cake.
- Slice and serve your delicious orange syrup cake as a delightful dessert or tea-time treat.

Tips:

- Make sure to use room temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter.

- To ensure the cake is fully cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

- Let the cake cool slightly before pouring the syrup over it to allow the syrup to soak in properly.

- Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.

- If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of powdered sugar in the syrup.

In conclusion, this orange syrup cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. The combination of buttery cake and tangy orange syrup creates a perfect balance of flavors that everyone will love. Serve it on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt for an extra touch of creaminess. Enjoy!
