Orange Cake

Easy to bake, perfectly tangy and beautifully moist, this orange cake recipe is an all-time favourite.

To start, beat eggs, sugar and emulsifier until fluffy. Add milk, orange juice and a few drops of orange food colouring. Continue whisking until all ingredients have combined and the batter is light and fluffy.
Add the sifted flour and baking powder, folding in gently and gradually until everything is mixed well. Continue mixing the batter at medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
In a pot or in the microwave, melt Planta Professional Baking Margarine and slowly add it to the batter. Continue whisking for another 3 minutes.
Butter your mould with Planta Professional Baking Margarine and pour the batter in, filling up 3/4 of the mould. Bake at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes.
When done, remove from the oven and turn upside down on a wired rack. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes, then remove the silicone mould and let it cool completely.
While waiting for the cake to cool, create the orange sauce by mixing water, orange juice and sugar and stir until combined.
Add the cornstarch and beat until combined. Cook over low heat in a pot and stir until the sauce becomes clear and thick.
Take the sauce off the heat, add Planta Professional Baking Margarine and stir until combined. Add a few drops of orange food colouring and stir well.
To finish, pour the orange sauce mixture over the orange cake, then lift the rack and tap lightly to smooth out the glazing. Rest for about 20 minutes to set, then serve.
