A big shout out to my favorite chef Atul sir...whose recipes are the Bestttt!
This has been on my mind since the time I saw it and I finally made it today was superrr yummm!
Only change was tht I skipped the sour cream and orange juice at the end.
Recipe Adapted From Cleobuttera
Oven Preheated at 180 C Baking time 33-38 Minutes.
This is one of the most delicious cakes I have baked even if I say so myself -It was feather light and delicious.
160 Grams Flour.3 Tablespoons Corn Flour / Corn Starch.
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda.
1.5 Teaspoons Baking Powder.
100 Grams Butter.
60 Ml White Oil.
160 Grams Granulated Sugar - Powder it.
2 Teaspoons Orange Zest.
1 Teaspoon Lemon Zest.
1/2 Cup Freshly Squeezed Orange .
1/4 Cup Sour Cream - If not using sour cream increase orange juice by 1/4 cup.
2 Eggs - 100 grams approx.
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence.
Lets Get Baking:
1. Mix together flour , baking soda and baking powder , set aside.
2. Using a paddle attachment beat up butter and oil for a minute till light and frothy , then add sugar slowly along with orange and lemon zest , as sugar is powdered it will take 1-2 minutes to get a nice lemony color and fluffy texture.
3. Add in eggs one at a time , continue to mix well , also adding in vanilla and sour cream. Blend well.
4. Now turn off the electric mixer and fold in the flour mixture alternately with the orange juice , beginning and ending with the flour mixture The idea is to incorporate the flour well , beat in air while not over working the batter . This gives you the feathery texture of the cake.
5. Bake in a well prepared pan for 33-38 minutes till a skewer comes out clean.
6. Take the baked cake out , while its still in the baking dish and hot , lightly puncture the surface and brush orange juice , I didn't add sugar to the juice . Unmould when the cake cools , and brush the other side too with orange juice in the same way.
