For baking

9 inch springform Pan

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Pan

Grease the pan with butter and add some all purpose flour in it. Swirl the pan to flour coat the bottom and sides of the pan.

Step 3: Making of Orange Cake

preheat oven to 375 in bake mode.

Take all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. whisk until all incorporated.

In a separate bowl, take all the wet ingredients, zest of Orange and mix all well.

Now add wet mixture into the dry mixture. Mix all together without lumps.

Now pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap on the counter top, to release the air bubbles.

Bake the cake for about 20 to 25 mins. Check the cake after 20 mins of baking. Insert a toothpick in the centre of cake and it should comes out clean. If it's sticky in the toothpick, bake for 2 to 3 more mins.

Once it baked, remove carefully from the oven and let it cool down for sometime.

Step 4: Making of Orange Icing

Take a cup of icing sugar in a bowl, add a tbsp of Orange juice at a time. Mix and check for the right icing pouring consistency.

Add orange zest to it and mix well.

Orange Icing is ready! It is soooo yumm!!

Step 5: Icing the Cake

Once the cake is completely cooled down, take out the cake from cake pan and place it in cake stand/plate. [ I inverted the cake for smooth flat base]

Pour the icing in middle of the cake and use butter knife or back side of knife to spread the icing all over the cake. I left the sides of cake as it is. [you can apply icing if you need]

Decorate the cake with sliced oranges and orange zest.

Before you cut the cake, make sure the icing sets well. Happy Baking :)
