Lemon And Orange Drizzle Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
This delicious and zesty lemon and orange drizzle cake is perfect for any occasion. The ingredients you’ll need are: 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of salt, 1 ½ cups of sugar, 1 cup of butter, softened, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of orange zest, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, ¾ cup of buttermilk, and the juice of 1 lemon, and the juice of 1 orange.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan or springform pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Add in the lemon zest, orange zest, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Slowly add in the buttermilk and beat until combined. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack. To make the drizzle, combine the lemon juice, orange juice, and ¼ cup of sugar in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Whisk the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid has thickened. Once the cake has cooled completely, poke several holes into the top of the cake with a toothpick. Pour the drizzle over the cake and allow it to soak in before serving.
