Orange Pound Cake

Recipe I got was from:

http://www.delscookingtwist.com/2016/02/27/orange-pound-cake/

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 large orange (juice + zest)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup (150g) salted butter
  • ¾ cup (160g) caster sugar
  • 1⅓ cup (160g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C) and grease a loaf tin.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  3. Sift in the flour with the baking powder, stirring well.
  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan and pour it into the batter.
  5. Juice and zest the fresh orange and incorporate.
  6. Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

I followed the recipe except that I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup.

The pound cake came out moist and fluffy. It did not have much orange flavor to it though.
