Orange Butter Cake

Got this butter cake resipe from a colleague, Shin Yuan but I added in orange flavour.  Easy to make and taste good too.

Orange Butter Cake

250 gm butter
230 gm castor sugar (I use 210)
250 gm self raising flour
4 eggs
8 tabspoons of liquid (use orange juice from orange and remaining use milk)
1/2 tsp of vanilla
rind of one big orange

Method

1)     Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add in eggs one at a time and continue beating.
        Add in orange zest and vanilla.
2)     Fold in flour and liquid alternately ending with flour.
3)     Pour into a greased 8" pan.  The batter can fill 3 of the above foil containers.
4)     Bake at 180 deg. C for 50 min for the 8" pan or 40 mins if you use the foil containers.
        Test with a skewer.  If the skewer comes out clean, the cake is done.
        Do not overbake as the cake will be dry.
