Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup Sugar
3 Eggs
2 cups All Purpose flour
2 tsp Baking powder
1 cup Fresh Orange Juice
½ tsp Salt
1 tsp Orange zest
For Frosting
11/2 cups icing sugar
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tbsp shredded (desiccated) coconut ( I omitted this).
Directions
Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl. In another bowl beat sugar and butter. Add in eggs and cream again until fluffy and creamy(2mins). Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the orange juice to the creamed mixture, beating well on low speed after each addition. Finally add the orange zest and fold in. Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree C for 30-35 min or until skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a rack.
To prepare the frosting, beat the icing sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Beat in enough orange juice to make a spreadable frosting. Spread the cake with the frosting and sprinkle with coconut.
Note:
If you are using salted butter,Omit the salt.
My cake was done in 25 mins, so keep watching after 20mins.
