Ingredients
- Orange Cake
¾ cup unsalted butter (178g) softened
¾ cup sugar (155g)
3 eggs
1+⅔ cup all purpose flour (200g) sifted
1+½ tsp milk powder (4 grams) (this adds a creamier taste, I literally used coffee mate powder, but if you can’t find milk powder you can leave this out)
1+¼ tsp baking powder (5g)
Zest and juice of one orange
- Lavender glaze
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tsps orange juice
1 tsp lavender extract for baking
Lavender Branches* (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Orange Cake
- Preheat the oven to 375F/190C.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar.
- Mix in the eggs (one at a time) until the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Sift the flour, milk powder, and baking powder together. Add them into the mixture and fold it in until it’s combined.
- Fold the zest and juice of one orange into the batter.
- Line a 9×5 inches loaf pan with parchment paper and add a little bit of oil. I used this 9-inch Heart Cake Pan and I just added a little bit of oil.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan.
- Bake at 375 F/190 C for the first 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 338 F/170 C and bake for 45 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
- Lavender glaze
- Mix together the powdered sugar, orange juice and lavender extract, you can add more powdered sugar if it’s too thin or add more orange juice if it’s too thick.
- Let the cake cool completely and then pour the glaze on top of it, you can add lavender branches on top to decorate (optional).
