Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ pound shortening (such as Crisco®)
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
1 large orange, zested
1 cup self-rising flour, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 7-inch cake pan.
  • Beat shortening and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add eggs one at a time, thoroughly beating each egg into the batter before adding the next. Add vanilla extract and fold orange zest into batter. Mix flour into batter until just incorporated. Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

This cake is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good. The orange flavor is very prominent.

This cake is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The orange flavor is not overpowering, it's just right.
