Orange cake
Preparation Time: 1 hour 30 min
Serves: 6 People
INGREDIENTS
For the cake:
200g caster sugar
Zest of an untreated orange
3 eggs
65g melted butter
10cl full cream
190g T45 flour
1 pinch of salt
½ packet of baking powder
For the decoration:
The juice of an orange
15ml of water
30g caster sugar
90g Nutella®
PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
2. Butter a cake tin and cover it with sugar. Keep it cool while you prepare the cake.
3. Beat the eggs and sugar in a mixer with the orange zest for 2 minutes in an electric mixer or in a pastry robot. Add the liquid cream, the pinch of salt and beat again.
4. Then add the yeast and flour sifted together. Whisk for a few more minutes, add the melted butter and continue.
5. Take the mold out of the fridge, pour the batter and bake for an hour. To check it is baked, you can insert the tip of a knife. It should come out dry.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup: heat the orange juice, sugar and water over low heat until boiling. Let boil for a minute and set aside.
7. When the cake is cooked, let cool for a few minutes then unmold on a wire rack. Coat it with the still hot syrup. Leave to cool on the rack, then using the electronic dispenser and a spatula spread the Nutella® all over the cake and place a few orange peels on top.
