👨🍳 Method
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan 160°C) / Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm traybake tin with baking paper.
2️⃣ Make the Sponge: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs, mixing well. Fold in the self-raising flour, then stir in the orange zest and milk until combined.
3️⃣ Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
4️⃣ Prepare the Drizzle: While the cake is still warm, mix the orange juice and icing sugar, then poke small holes all over the sponge with a skewer. Pour the drizzle over the cake and let it soak in.
5️⃣ Make the Icing: Once the cake has cooled completely, mix the icing sugar with the orange juice to make a thick icing. Drizzle or spread over the top.
6️⃣ Decorate & Serve: Sprinkle with extra orange zest for a fresh, vibrant finish. Slice into squares and enjoy!
