I am so into citrus cakes these days. I don't know why, but I LOVE this orange drizzle cake the most.
I LIKE HOW LIGHT AND MOIST THIS ORANGE CAKE IS.
You will get an incredibly soft, fluffy, and moist sponge cake flavored with orange glaze. It is absolutely delicious!

Orange Drizzle Cake
This cake is stable in my house, especially in the citrus season, as I like to use real oranges. Plus, it is a delightful treat for kids!
This orange juice cake is super convenient and easy. It's simple to whip up and requires only a few pantry staples.
The orange icing soaks into the cake for a delicious finish, elevating the classic taste of this cake recipe. Delicious, tender, and scrumptious best describe this cake.

What's in This Recipe?
"See the recipe card below for more information about the ingredients and quantities."
Butter. I use unsalted butter at room temperature.
Caster Sugar. I like to use caster sugar in baking because it dissolves quickly. However, granulated sugar also works fine.
Eggs. I use 3 large eggs.
Self Raising Flour. Since I am aiming for a fluffy and light texture, this flour is a perfect choice.
Tip: You may use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. However, you will have to add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to assist the flour in turning this cake lighter and airier.
Fresh Orange Juice and Zest. I use fresh oranges in making this cake. The orange zest gives the cake batter a citrusy taste, and the juice makes the orange drizzle syrup
