Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grate the zest of the oranges and set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the orange zest. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
