This beautiful\u00a0\u201cOrange cake\u201d\/ Le Gateau Sevillan\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is adapted from \u201cCooking To Dine<\/a>\u201d written by one of my favorite food writers,\u00a0Linda Gassenheimer<\/a>! This was the very first cookbook I owned and had so much influence on me. I think I made this orange cake for more than 30 times and every time with great results.<\/p>\n

The only slight adjustments I made is that I doubled the cake batter, used granulated sugar instead of castor sugar and reduced a bit the powdered sugar in the syrup. It is straightforward and never goes wrong even if you are not a confident baker. If you love orange-flavored food, grab some oranges and get baking!<\/p>\n

Perfumed with orange zest and dressed up in an orange syrup, the result is a delicately buttery and moist flavored cake. It may remind you a bit of baba cake in terms of moistness.<\/p>\n

There is no better reason to gather a group of friends for a brunch, afternoon tea or any celebratory occasion than this good orange cake \u2013 elegant in its simplicity! A family favorite, rich, moist and needs nothing than the orange syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar to dress it up.<\/p>\n

Sweet and moist with a double orange flavor, you need to use orange zest in the batter, and dress up the cake with orange syrup! The orange syrup not only adds moisture to the cake, but also a satisfying deep citrus flavor.<\/p>\n

Douse the cake with the orange syrup while the cake is still warm. The cake will soak a lot of the syrup, but there will be a bit of run-off.\u00a0 Take a spoon and drizzle it back on top of the cake.<\/p>\n
