Orange And Almond Loaf Cake






I was looking to make a simple yet fabulous and delicious cake. Also I wasn't looking to buy more ingredients! Just looking to make a cake from what I can find in my larder.  After a few minutes of searching online, I stumble across this recipe from Dr Oetker website. This fabulous fruity loaf is super easy to make and so delicious. This is an amazing dessert or even a breakfast with a nice cup of coffee!


Ingredients:
  • 175g plain flour
  • 2g baking powder
  • 100g ground almond
  • 175g caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 200ml vegetable oil
  • 100ml milk
  • 5ml Valencian Orange Extract
For the topping:
  • 300g Dr Oetker Vanilla Buttercream style icing*
  • zest of 1 orange
  • 100g chopped almond

Method:

Preheat the oven at 180ºC/160ºC for fan assist oven. Line a one pound loaf with baking paper and set a side.

Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix thoroughly.

Add the wet ingredients directly into the bowl and whisk together.

Pour the mixture into the loaf pan.

Bake for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden and when you insert a skewer in the centre, it comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before decorating.

To decorate, thoroughly mix the buttercream with the zest. Gently spread over the icing and then sprinkle with chopped almonds and flower, if desire. 

Enjoy!!


*Notes: If you wish you can make your own buttercream icing.
