HOW TO MAKE ORANGE CAKE!

[Swede]

You will need:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon Valencian orange extract (pic)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda (not baking powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup cool water
• 6 Tablespoons oil (I used vegetable oil)
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice or distilled white vinegar (lemon juice recommended)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

1. 1. Sift dry ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
   2. In a measuring cup combine water, oil, juice or vinegar, and vanilla.
   3. Add liquids to bowl & gently stir until there are no lumps (about 30 seconds).
   4. Pour into pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
   5. Cool completely in the pan
   
   
   Icing:
   Grab some cocoa powder, and the Valencian orange extract (from above) and some icing sugar. Sift and then Add some water (teaspoon) and mix until it looks good. This will make jafa cake icing! You can customize this icing recipe (e.g.... remove the chocolate to make orange icing, or remove the orange to make chocolate icing)

My husband would love this! I would substitute apple sauce for the oil (I always do when baking). This sounds fabulous!
