My Mum's Orange Cake Recipe - Kek Oren

When I was 12 and started baking, this orange cake was the first one that I'd baked. (^o^)

It was written in mum's blue recipe book, probably passed down from generations. This is mum's favorite cake until now. 

This simple and delicious cake will do good without any frosting and great with cuppa hot tea.

*Choose your butter. Cake baked with Buttercup won't taste the same as baked with Anchor or SCS butter.
