Orange and Thyme Cake

I just made this and it’s awesome. Unfortunately I forgot to take a pic while I was in the kitchen and now I’m on the sofa so you’re out of luck. :P

Ingredients:

1.5c Flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1c sugar
1c butter
2 eggs
2 tsp orange zest
2 tbsp orange juice
2tsp thyme

For the glaze:

1/3c orange juice
1/3c sugar (I used half white, half brown)

Preparation time: 15-30 minutes
Cooking time: 40-50 minutes at 180C / 350F

Method:

  • Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy
  • Add the egg, orange zest and juice, and thyme, and whisk until smooth
  • Sift in the flour, baking soda and baking powder, and mix
  • Pour into a 9″ square oven dish and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top starts to brown and a knife/toothpick comes out clean.
  • To make the glaze, mix the sugar with the juice until it has dissolved.
  • When the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and poke holes across the top with a fork. Pour the glaze over the cake and then let it rest until the cake is at room temperature before serving.
