Method
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the milk, orange blossom water, and orange zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Make the Orange Syrup
- While the cake is baking, combine the orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
Finish the Cake
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Poke holes in the top of the cake with a toothpick and pour the orange syrup over the warm cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
