The best thing to do in this weather is to bake :), it save on heating the house too hehehehe, and it fills your belly with good food, baking is my favorite thing to do when its  really cold outside and I have no business being outdoors…

I came up with few recipes today and this cake is one of them, I loved the texture of this cake, moist and a little dense and that was just the perfect cake to be glazed with this delouses simple orange glaze!

Cake

.1 3/4 cup all purpose-flour

.1 Tbsps. pure vanilla extract

.1 1/2 cups sugar substitutes

.2 Teaspoon baking powder

.1 1/2 sticks melted butter

.1/2 teaspoon salt

.1/4 teaspoon baking soda

.2 eggs at room temperature

.1/2  cup milk

.1/2 cup fresh orange juice

.1 Tbsp. orange zests

..Glaze

.1/2 cup fresh orange juice

.1 1/8 cups of powdered sugar substitutes

Preheat oven to 375

Spray 9 inch round pan with cooking spray, add parchment paper to the bottom of the pan, spray again with cooking spray, set a side.

In a small bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a large bowl whisk by hand, melted butter, orange zests, vanilla, sugar and orange juice. Add eggs one at a time and whisk well after each addition.

Fold flour mixture in thirds mixing gently after each addition without over mixing the batter.

Bake the cake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes on wire rack, remove from pan and remove the parchment paper. cool for additional 30 minutes.

Prepare the Glaze by mixing the orange juice with the powder sugar until smooth without any lumps.

With a toothpick perk holes in the cake and spoon the glaze over the cake and let it soak in to the cake for 45 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!!
