Orange Butter Cake

About a week ago the father of one of the ladies I work with passed away.  Today she is coming back to work so in an effort to make her feel loved to show her that we were thinking of her I decided to make her a cake.  I wasn't really sure if it was appropriate but it is the best way I  could think of to show her I was thinking of her.  I made Orange Butter Cake and it smells delicious.  Hopefully it tastes just as delicious.

Orange Butter Cake from Australian Women's Weekly Bake

150g butter softened
1 tbs grated orange rind
2/3 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 tbs orange juice

Preheat oven to 180*C/160*C fan forced.  Grease a deep 20cm round cake pan.

Beat butter, caster sugar, rind, eggs, flour and milk in medium bowl at low speed until combined.  Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes or unti mixture is smooth and changed to a paler colour.  Spread mixture in pan.

Bake cake for about 40 minutes.  Stand cake in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto rack to cool.

Combine sifted icing sugar and orange juice in small bowl and spread over cooled cake.

Enjoy with a cup of tea and some good company!
