Orange Plumcake

I don't post sweet recipes very often, so I've thought that this is the right moment for it! This recipe is not complicated but I like it very much. The orange flavour adds that little extra something that makes this cake special.

Ingredients

Flour 250 gr.

Butter 170 gr.

Sugar 250 gr.

Eggs 4

Milk 50 gr.

Orange juice and zest 1

Baking powder 16 gr./3 teaspoons

• Place in a bowl the sugar and the orange zest and mix it with the whisk.
• Now add the eggs and the butter, which must be room-temperature and soft. Whisk.
• Add the milk, the orange jucie, the flour and the baking powder.It is better to sieve the flour with the baking powder. In this way they mix together.
• Preheat the oven at 170°.  Then, take a cake pan and you can choose whether or not to grease the pan or to use the baking paper.
• Put into the oven for 45 minutes.
• When it is cold, sprinkle with the icing sugar.

Hope you like it!
