Sunday afternoons have turned into baking afternoons at the Jacob house. Its quite becoming a little tradition - baking with Little Miss J! Today we tried an Orange Almond Loaf...yum yum....even if I say so myself! Very moist and very moreish.
I really do need to get better at photography!!!
Ingredients
190 g plain flour
190 g caster sugar
60 g ground almonds
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs
190 g unsalted butter
Rind of two oranges, grated
2 tbsp orange juice (can be reduced as per taste - I like my cakes really orangey!!)
25 g plain yoghurt
Flaked almonds to sprinkle on top
Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees celsius and grease and line a loaf tin.
2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and ground almonds.
3. Cream butter, caster sugar and orange zest until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat thoroughly.
4. Fold in the flour mixture until it is fully incorporated. Stir in the yoghurt and orange juice.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and sprinkle the top with flaked almonds.
6. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 60 minutes. You can check on the cake in about 40 minutes and if you feel the top is getting too brown then cover it with foil. Check to see if it is done by inserting a skewer into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
7. Let it cool in the tin and then cool completely before you slice it. Perfect with a hot cup of tea!
Thanks for great information you write it very clean. I am very lucky to get this tips from you
