Orange Cake

Be the first to review!

There is something lovely about a good steamed Orange Cake for teatime or when you have the family over. With its soft, sweet and faintly citrusy profile, it is a no-fuss homemade dessert. You put together eggs, caster sugar, corn oil, orange starch and some self-rising flour to make it. The steaming gives the cake a moist, tender quality and an understated orange taste. It is the kind of bright, home-made cake that is easy to put on the table without firing up the oven, and simple enough for those who are just starting out in the kitchen.
