Locos Por Los Dulces proposes you to prepare this exquisite orange loaf cake with just a few ingredients. A good opportunity to make the most of the season of this wonderful citrus fruit. Ideal to cover with icing or chocolate for much more incredible breakfasts, snacks and desserts.
Let’s talk about the recipe:
Preparing this loaf cake is simple because it has no complications about its preparation and has more than one advantage. The ingredients are just a few, frequently used and easy to find in any market. In addition, you can change any of them according to preference or need without inconvenience.
About the ingredients:
The type of flour used on this occasion is self-rising flour, commonly known in other countries as pastry flour or cake flour, plus the addition of baking powder. In general, depending on the brand, it can absorb more or less amount of liquid and that is why I recommend incorporating it gradually. As a result, keep in mind that the smaller the volume, the smaller the final product.
The fat used in this opportunity is butter. But you can substitute margarine, sunflower oil, olive oil, coconut oil, etc. Even so, depending on what fat is used, it can change its texture and final flavor. Therefore, always keep in mind the type and class of ingredients when preparing a specific recipe.
In the same way, you have the choice of using orange juice, milk, non-dairy milk or simply water. In addition to using a mixture of them, that is, half-and-half. However, the intensity of the flavor will depend on the amount of orange juice. Therefore, the final result, whether in texture and flavor, will depend on the type of ingredient and proportion used.
About Cooking:
Lastly, this orange loaf cake is baked at a medium low temperature of around 180 degrees / 356 Fahrenheit for approx 40 minutes. For a good result, it is recommended, first, to adapt the baking according to the type of oven available and second, that the cooking be as punctual as possible.
