Ingredients

200 g All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
113 g unsalted Butter
160 g Sugar
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
2 large Eggs, at room temperature
½ cup Buttermilk
¼ cup freshly squeezed Orange Juice

Method

* Pre-heat oven to 175 degree celcius. Grease and line a 8.5 inch x 4.5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper so that the paper hangs down the sides. This makes it much easier to lift the cake out once it’s baked.

* Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and keep aside.

* In another bowl, beat butter, sugar and orange zest till light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined.

* Add half the flour mixture and mix till just combined. Add the buttermilk and orange juice and give it another stir. Add the rest of the flour to the mixture until just combined.

* Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 55-60 mins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

* Once baked, let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing it and placing it on a wire rack to cool further.

* Sprinkle with icing sugar, and serve with freshly sliced oranges.
