Individual Orange Syrup Cakes image

These dessert cakes are from a wonderful dessert cookbook from New Zealand given to me by friend Jen T from Zaar. I haven't allowed for standing time in preparation time, because overnight would be best.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 large eggs
1 medium orange, finely grated zest
1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
3/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 orange, zest of, finely grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 deg C (350 F) or 170 deg C fan forced (325 F).
  • Measure sugar, oil, eggs and zest into a food processor and blend until pale and creamy.
  • Add orange juice and vanilla and process again, then add salt and flour, process just enough to make a fairly smooth batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between six non stick sprayed muffin tins or other moulds and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown.
  • While cakes cook prepare the syrup by mixing the hot water, sugar and zest together in a small microwave bowl and heat for about 3 minutes on high, stirring occasionally, until the mixture boils and the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove cakes from the oven, stand for 2-3 minutes before inverting onto a plate and removing the tins.
  • Drizzle syrup evenly over the hot cakes, about 2 tablespoons per cake.
  • Leave standing an hour, or overnight if possible, before cutting and serving with whipped cream or ice-cream.
