![[Recipe] Leftover Mandarin Oranges every year 🍊? Save this! This Mandarin Orange Cake Squares are perfect in giving them a new, soft and fluffy lease of life 😋 Not only are these nicely citrusy and fruity, they can help you get rid of 3 oranges easily!
My tips for success and least effort:
(1) You can just squeeze out the juice direct, I don’t own a juicer!
(2) If using zest, dont zest the white part (rind) as it is more bitter
(3) Use room temp ingredients incl milk and egg as much as possible so that the ingredients gel well. If it still clumps, don’t panic and follow through to the flour stage
When life gives you oranges, make cake 😆 Have a happy Chinese New Year soon for those celebrating!
Ingredients
For Orange Cake:
- 115g unsalted butter, softened at room temp
- 100g to 130g white sugar (Can reduce further to 80g, depending on sweetness of orange)
- 2 large eggs
- 120ml milk
- 30ml orange juice
- approx 1 - 2 tsps orange zest (optional)
- 180g flour
- 3g baking powder
For Orange Drizzle:
- 60ml orange juice
- (Optional) 10g of Granulated White Sugar
For Orange Icing:
- 20ml orange juice
- 70g - 90g icing sugar
Instructions
1. Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and light yellow, approx 2 mins
2. Whisk in 2 eggs
3. Whisk in orange juice, milk, orange zest
4. Whisk in flour and baking powder, then transfer to 8 in baking tray. Tap a few times to dislodge excess air
5. Bake 160C, 32 – 35 mins or until lightly orange brown at the top
6. Cool for 5 mins, meanwhile prepare orange drizzle and then pour
7. Once the cake has cooled, prepare the orange icing and then pour over the top of the cake. Top with additional orange zest if desired.
Note: I prefer to make the orange icing only when ready as it will harden and set
