Orange Ogura Cake (香橙相思蛋糕)

Orange Ogura Cake

This is my first attempt to make this delicious Cake. The cake is called Orange Ogura Cake in English/Japanese but in Chinese it is known as 相思蛋糕 which literally translates as Pining4U or Lovesickness Cake.  Orange Ogura Cake is soft, moist,  spongy, airy and light cake..

 Ingredients:

     70g Orange juice

     40g Vegetable oil

     1/4 tsp Salt

     55g Hong Kong Flour/Plain flour

     zest from 2 oranges

     4 Egg yolks + 1 whole egg (60g each)

     150g Egg white

     1/4 tsp Cream of tartar

     70g Sugar 

Method:

Line baking sheet at the bottom of an ungreased 7 inch square pan and preheat the oven to 160C with a tray of boiling water on the most bottom rack.

Whisk egg yolks,

 egg,and vegetable oil until frothy and add orange juice, mix well. Sift in flour and orange zest, mix well set aside.

Using an electric mixer, whisk egg white, cream of tartar and castor sugar till peak form (not stiff). 

Mix 1/3 of meringue with yolk batter with a rubber spatula. Then pour in balance of meringue. Fold gently to mix well.

Pour batter into pan and tap pan lightly to remove air bubbles.
