Malta Cake Recipe(my version) 🍊🥮
Ingredients:
1. 8 eggs
2. 3 cups flour
3. 2¼ cups sugar (almost 2½ cups)
4. 2½ cups oil
5. 2 teaspoons baking powder
6. 1 teaspoon baking soda
7. Juice of 1½ Malta (orange)
8. Zest (rind) of 2 Malta (orange)
9. Nuts for garnishing
10. Vanilla essence, as desired
Method⏲️
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 170–180°C (340–350°F). Grease and line your cake pan.
2. Prepare the eggs and sugar
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color.
3. Add oil and flavor
Slowly add the oil while mixing. Then add the vanilla essence, Malta (orange) juice, and orange zest. Mix well.
4. Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
5. Combine wet and dry
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently until everything is well combined. Do not overmix.
6. Prepare for baking
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
7. Add garnish
Sprinkle nuts on top as desired.
8. Bake
Bake for about 50–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool down
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
