Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

250 g butter
200 g caster sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups self raising flour
1 teaspoon ginger powder
syrup
1 cup caster sugar
1 cup fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add the zest and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Sift the flour and ginger. Fold into the creamy mix.
  • Pour batter into a greased and lined 26 cm spring form tin.
  • Bake at 150oC for 50-60 minutes (or until cooked when tested).
  • Meanwhile, when the cake is cooking: place the syrup ingredients in a saucepan. Dissolve the sugar over a low heat. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum that arises. Reduce heat slightly and simmer for 10 minutes (you should have just over a cup of syrup).
  • Remove the cake from the oven when cooked, pierce the top of the cake all over with a skewer, carefully pour the syrup all over the cake. Leave to cool completely.
  • Remove the cake from the pan and slice into wedges.
