Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp orange zest
• 1 tsp orange blossom water
• 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter or a non-stick spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly beating after each addition to incorporate fully.
4. Stir in the orange zest and orange blossom water, mixing until evenly distributed.
5. Gradually alternate adding the flour and milk to the mixture, stirring continuously to ensure the batter remains smooth and free of lumps.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Test the cake’s readiness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
