Ingredients:
- 120g top flour
- 70g castor sugar
- 2 eggs
- 75g oil
- 70g fresh orange juice (approximately 2 mandarin oranges)
- 1 to 2 tsp orange zest
- dark chocolate chips, raisins or nuts
Instructions:
- 1. Preheat the airfryer at 160 degrees for 10 min.
- 2. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add castor sugar and use a wooden spoon to beat gently until well-mixed.
- 3. Add oil and orange juice into #2, and mix well.
- 4. Sift flour.
- 5. Add #3 into the flour. Mix well and pour into the cake pan.
- Tip: I always got confused – is it add wet ingredients into dry ones, or vice versa – and then I will just pour into the bowl which was bigger. Heh. Anyway, Mr Google said that we should pour wet into dry to avoid flour clumps.
- 6. Pour a little flour over the chocolate chips, raisins or walnuts so they don’t sink. Add into the cake pan.
- 7. Cover the baking pan with aluminium foil and poke a few holes. Airfry at 160 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Tip: This method is a saviour – it prevents the cake from being heated unevenly or having a dry top-surface. The last thing we want is to have a burnt cake top and uncooked middle. Before I learnt this method, I would keep having cakes that were ugly and poked all over because I had to check for doneness
- 8. Remove the foil and airfry for another 4 – 6 minutes to give the cake a nice healthy brown surface. Test its doneness using a toothpick. If it’s ready, the toothpick should come out clean.
The cake is now ready to be served. I love the nice fresh orange colour and it was really moist inside too!
