Orange and cranberries cake. Something moist and scrumptious.

You’re about to make the easiest cake ever (among others...) You’ll just need to put all the ingredients together and... Bake! It’s a soft, moist cake with a delicious orange flavor  You’ll love it.

I topped the cake with a light syrup with an orange scent. Just the perfect finish for this amazing cake.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

230 grams butter at room temperature 

350 grams sugar

3 M eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla paste

3/4 cup buttermilk 

400 grams flour

15 grams baking powder

150 grams dried cranberries

2 Tbsp orange zest

1 tsp orange extract

For the sugar frosting:

2 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp of orange juice 

You just have to mix sugar and liquid until you get the consistency you want. I wanted it thick, so i used less liquid. If you prefer it with a runny texture, just add more liquid. 

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180ºC
• Sift flour and baking powder.
• Chop the cranberries (not too big)
• In the bowl of the standard mixture whisk butter and sugar until fluffy.
• Add eggs, one at a time until all well incorporated.
• Add buttermilk and mix.
• Add orange zest and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour and just mix well (don’t over work)
• Add the dried fruit and mix. Just mix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin (greased)
• Bake for 40 minutes. If you feel the temperature is too high, reduce it to 150ºC FAN (it’s enough for me in my oven)
• Take it out of the oven. Let it cool down for 10 minutes and then take to out of the baking tin.
• Make the “sugar frosting” and pour all over the cake.Let it dry completely.

Yummy!

Happy baking!
