Orange Cream Cheese Butter Cake
Ingredients
Cake
180g butter, softened
125g cream cheese, softened
1¼ cups castor sugar
1 tbsp finely grated orange rind
3 eggs
1½ cups plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp bi carb soda
Icing
1 ½ cups icing sugar, sifted
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp orange juice
Method
Preheat the oven on Top/Bottom heat to 170°C and place the wire rack on shelf position 2. Grease and line a 25cm x 10cm loaf pan.
Cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and orange rind with an electric mixer until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Sift the flour, baking powder & bi carb soda and fold through the creamed mixture to form a smooth batter.
Place the mixture into the prepared pan and cook for 1 hour or until the cake is cooked when tested with a skewer.
To make the icing, place the icing sugar and the melted butter into a bowl. Gradually add enough orange juice to form a thick icing. Mix well and spread onto the cake.
