Taste: Sweet and Savory; Technique: Baking; Time: 30 minutes; Difficulty: Moderate.

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions for Orange Butter Cake

Beat the eggs over warm water.

Cream the butter and sugar with a spatula until slightly mixed, then beat with a mixer until light and fluffy.

Add the beaten eggs gradually in 4 portions, ensuring each portion is fully mixed before adding the next.

Sift and mix salt and all dry ingredients, add to the creamed butter, mix slightly with a spatula, then use the mixer on low speed to blend evenly.

Add the orange zest all at once, mix on low speed until combined.

Pour the cake batter into a lined mold, tap gently, use a spatula to smooth the surface to be lower in the middle and higher on the sides.

Place in a preheated oven, bake at 160 degrees for 50 minutes until cooked. (Once the cake surface forms a crust, you can use a wet knife to make a neat crack in the middle, or insert a bamboo skewer – if it comes out clean without wet batter, the cake is done.)
