Directions/方法

IMG_7196– whisk eggs lightly and then warm it slightly in a bain marie. set aside
鸡蛋打散隔水加温至微热状态备用

– add sugar to butter and beat till pale and fluffy
黄油加入糖,将其打发至如羽毛般膨松发白的状态

– add egg mixture into the above in 4-5 additions, incorporating well before adding the next batch
将微温的蛋液分4-5次加入黄油,每一次都搅拌至完全吸收后再加入下一次的量

– add in sifted flour, salt and baking powder all at once into butter/egg mixture. beat on low speed till batter is no longer lumpy
一次性将低粉、盐、泡打粉混合过筛入打发的黄油中, 打蛋器低速略微搅拌均匀,至无干粉颗粒

– pour in all orange juice and amaretto and blend well on low speed
一次性加入橙汁和苦杏酒,低速搅拌均匀

– add in orange zest and incorporate well
加入橙皮屑翻拌均匀

– pour batter into cake pan and knock it against the bench a few times to remove bubbles. use spatula to smoothen the top of the cake
蛋糕糊装入模具在操作台上轻磕,使面糊均匀无空洞,用刮刀将表面抹平至中间低两端高的状态

– bake in preheated oven of 170 degrees C. when the top of cake begin to form a layer of “skin”, use a slightly wet knife and quickly make a long slit along lengthwise of the cake ~ this allows the cake to rise and split more evenly
入预热至170摄氏度的烤箱烘烤,表面结皮后,可用刀尖沾水在中间划一道,便于蛋糕表面整齐的开裂

– bake for 60 mins or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. do note that baking time is only for reference
根据模具的大小灵活掌握烤制时间,我这只用到60分钟,用牙签插入不会带出湿沾的面糊即为成熟

– once baked, unmould cake immediately to allow to cool. wrap with cling wrap and place in fridge to chill overnight before slicing and serving
蛋糕出炉后立即脱模晾凉,包保鲜膜冷藏一晚后切片食用

Personal notes/温馨小贴士:

IMG_7190– i halved the recipe and used 96g of sugar and 3 tbsp of orange zest
我做了食谱分量的半份,用了96克糖和3大匙橙皮

– i made my cake in a 20 x 5 x 5 cm loaf pan, and baked the cake for 44mins
我的模子是 20 x 5 x 5厘米 的迷你烤盘,蛋糕烤了44分钟

– feel free to substitute amaretto with equal amounts of Cointreau or orange juice
如果没有苦杏酒,可用同分量的君度(橙味利口酒)或橙汁替代
