Ingredients:
  • 30.00 ml finely grated orange rind (see note)
  • 125g butter, chopped, softened
  • 322.50 gm caster sugar
  • 225.00 gm self-raising flour, sifted
  • 131.25 gm orange juice
  • 125.00 gm cold water
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced, then generously grease a 12-hole, 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pan.
  • Combine orange rind, butter, and 1 1/2 cups of sugar in a bowl. Use an electric mixer to blend until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in flour and 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
  • Fill muffin holes with the mixture and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
  • In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, orange juice, and 1/2 cup cold water over low heat. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes until thickened, without stirring.
  • After standing the cakes in the pan for 5 minutes, carefully invert them onto a wire rack set over a baking tray or plate. Drizzle the hot syrup over the cakes and enjoy your delicious treat.
