<\/p>\n… add baking powder…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n… and salt…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake3-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… mix all together with a whisk, and put the bowl with dry ingredients aside. You can also start pre-heating your oven to 180C at this stage.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake4-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nGrit zest of 3 large oranges (only the yellow part of it).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake5-225x300.jpg\")
<\/p>\nPlace the sugar in a separate bowl…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake6-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… add orange zest…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake7-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and then comes the fun part! \ud83d\ude42 Using your clean hands, mush zest and sugar together until fully combined. This expresses the orange oil out and releases the flavour.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake8-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nWhen the mixture gets a wet sand texture, it’s ready.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake9-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nNow, cut the 3 oranges you peeled zest off, in half…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake10-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and squeeze the juice out of them, using an orange juice squeezer.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake11-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nYou will get about 180 ml of pure orange juice.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake12-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAdd the juice to your sugar and orange zest mixture…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake13-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and a tablespoon of vanilla extract…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake14-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n…and oil…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake15-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and eggs…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake16-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and mix it together with a whisk.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake17-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nNow, carefully pour the mixture into your dry ingredients…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake18-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and mix together with a whisk or a spatula, until fully combined, with no streaks of flour left. Please be careful not to overmix. Do not use an electric mixer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nGrease your loaf baking tray (a size of mine is 7.3×3.5 inches, or 18.5×9 cm).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake20-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nYou can dust your greased tray with some flour too.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake21-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nPour your batter into it, and bake at 180C for about 45 to 50 minutes.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake22-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nYour loaf will rise and crack in a middle, and get a brown crust.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake23-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nNow, make a delicious orange glazing.
\nSqueeze orange juice out of approx. 3 and a half large oranges, to get 240 ml of orange juice. Put it i to a saucepan…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake24-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… add icing sugar…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake25-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and cornflour…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n… and mix well.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Cake26-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nHeat up the mixture on a low heat, stirring constantly.<\/p>\n
