Formkaka með appelsínuberki

Shaped cake with orange peels

This is a recipe for a very simple sponge cake that I easily threw together in just under 10 minutes; Bake for approx. 35 minutes and then let it cool down a bit.

So it's a wonderfully uncomplicated, quick recipe - and the cake also tastes nice and fluffy, fresh and delicious. Ideal if you need something quick again!

Ingredients

250 g butter

185 g powdered sugar

4 eggs

2 Tbsp milk

250 g flour

50 g almond flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp dried, grated orange peel

1 tsp powdered sugar for sprinkling

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

Melt the butter and let it cool.

In a large bowl, stir the melted butter with the powdered sugar until fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly each time.

Add milk, flour, almond flour, baking powder and stir.

Add the grated orange peel and stir the dough until foamy.

Line the tin with baking paper, pour in the dough and bake in a preheated oven at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 35 minutes until the cake is golden brown.

Take the cake out of the oven, sprinkle with the powdered sugar using a small sieve and let it cool.

Then carefully remove it from the mold and serve.

Bon appetit!
