Tube Butter Cake

 

180 g butter

200 g caster sugar

Rind of 1 orange

1 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

125 ml UHT milk

1 tablespoon orange juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence

250g superfine flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

 

 

1 Preheat oven to 180 ºC. Grease and line an 18cm square or round cake pan with greaseproof paper.

2 Cream butter, sugar and orange rind until light and creamy. Add the combined milk mixture gradually. Fold in sifted ingredients until well combined. Beat in eggs one at a time.

3 Turn mixture into prepared pan. Make a shallow well in the centre. This will level up the cake when baked. Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until done when tested with a wooden skewer.

To make a tube cake

Line a few metal cans (save it when you buy canned food – recycle) with non stick paper and let it extend by 2 cm on top of the can. Fill it up with the batter.
