Cake Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Spray a 9x5x3" loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time mixing well after each.
  • Add the vanilla and the orange zest.
  • Alternatively add the flour with the sour cream, starting and finishing with the flour.
  • Fold in the rhubarb.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan, smooth top and bake for 60­ minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Let cool 10 minutes
  • Remove from pan and complete the cooling on a wire rack.
  • Store in an air tight container for a few days if needed.

Orange icing instructions

  • Sift the powdered sugar.
  • Combine the fresh orange juice and sifted powdered sugar until a thick icing forms.
  • If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • If the icing is too thick, add orange juice, a few drops at a time.
  • The icing should not flow freely, it should be thick so it forms a nice layer on the cake.

Notes

When do you put on the icing?

I like to wait until the cake is completely cooled before icing the cake with the orange icing. Thanks to reader Maura for asking this question.
