Whole-orange sponge — juice in the batter, zest in the crumb. A tender, bakery-style crumb that stays moist for days. Keeps well covered for three days — if it lasts that long.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salta pinch
Eggs4
Sugar1 cup
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Orange2, zested and juiced
Orange Zest1 tbsp

Instructions

1
Set the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the base of your tin with parchment.
2
Whisk the butter, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Fold the flour and orange zest through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.
4
Pour into the tin and bake 30-40 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out clean.
5
Once cool, slice and serve, or ice it generously and let the frosting set.

Chef's tip

Chill the dough when the recipe says so; warm dough spreads into flat, greasy cookies.
