Have some oranges
Peel on, sliced into half-moons
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
2 tbsp orange juice.
Cake
2 cups cake flour
1 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup milk
½ cup orange juice
½ cup olive oil (or butter)
3 eggs
zest of 1 orange
1) Dissolve the sugar in water and orange juice in a saucepan over low heat until it simmers.
2) Add in the orange slices, making sure they are submerged in the sugar water. Occasionally turn them over.
| 3) They are done when the skins are slightly transparent and the sugar is thick. (Not fully dry). If you’re making candied oranges just to eat on their own, continue till it’s drier.
4) Line a 9 inch cake pan with wax paper (mine was aluminum, (but if yours is a dark non stick one perhaps you can skip the wax paper,) and grease it throughly.
5) Arrange the orange slices in a spiral pattern on the cake pan. DO NOT THROW AWAY THE LEFTOVER SYRUP IN THE SAUCEPAN.
| 6) Next, we can move on to batter things. (bad pun intended). At this point, preheat your oven to 180 Celcius (reduce to 170 for smaller pans and dark pans)
7) Combine the eggs, milk, orange juice, oil, zest for the cake in a bowl and beat throughly.
8) Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt (and optional cinnamon) into an even bigger bowl, making sure they are mixed evenly.
9) Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry mixture as you beat the batter till smooth.
| 10) Slowly pour the batter into the cake pan, careful not to dislodge your orange-ment. (bad pun intended again.)
11) Bake for 35mins at 180C or as needed, until a toothpick inserted near the centre of the cake comes out clean
12) Let the cake cook on a rack for 15-20mins, before upending it onto a larger plate (the bottom with the orange slices is now the top.) But it’s not finished yet!
| 13) Heat the remaining syrup from the orange slices with 2 tbsp water or Cointreau, stirring till well-incorporated.
14) Brush the syrup onto the top of the cake. You might not be able to paint with all the colours of the wind, but you can paint with orange now.
Leave the cake to stand to allow the syrup to soak in!
15) A sharp knife instead of a regular cake knife is needed to slice nicely through this.
Enjoy!
