Ingredients
2¼ cups gluten free flour = 1½ cups rice flour 粘米粉 + ¾ cup potato flour Mąka Ziemniaczana
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda [known as baking soda in the States]
4 ozs unsalted butter [half a cup or 113 grams or 1 stick]
1 tin [397 g] [1½ cups or 12 fl oz] of condensed milk
1 cup [8 fl oz] freshly squeezed orange juice½ teaspoon orange oil or orange extract
1 oz or 30 grams of homemade orange peel - diced finely
Method
- Grease and flour a bundt baking tin [any bundt tin > 6 cups large]. I used a 12 - 15 cups size bundt tin.
- Preheat your oven to 165 C - with fan switched off - if you were to use other baking tins [i.e. not Nordic Ware platinum range] then bake the cake at 175 C.
- Sift the flour and raising agents and mix the finely diced orange peel into the flour and set aside.
- Squeeze 3 thin skin oranges to obtain > 1 cup [8 fl oz] of juice - you need some excess juice to make the glaze for the cake.
- Partially melt the butter in a microwave oven [about 20 seconds or so] and mix it with the condensed milk with a spoon - I use a small silicon spoon - and then mix in the orange oil or extract.
- Pour the condensed mix / butter mixture into the sifted flour mixture and fold with a spoon.
- Slowly add the the orange juice in three batches into the flour milk butter mixture and fold the cake batter until one gets a smooth homogeneous mixture without any lumps.
- Pour the cake mixture into the prepared baking tin and bake on the bottom shelf of a preheated 165 C oven for 45 minutes or until the cake is cooked.
Use the excess orange juice [2 tbsp + 1 tsp = 20 ml] to mix with 130 grams of sifted icing sugar for the glaze. For a thin glaze, then add about a teaspoon of liquid glucose into the glaze.
Any excess glaze can be whipped with double cream and be served with the cake. Whip 300 ml [half a pint] of double cream with the excess glaze until soft peaks. Serve this with a slice of the cake.
