Muscoutchou with Orange Juice


  1. Mixing the ingredients:

    • In a deep bowl, crack the three eggs and add the sugar, vanilla, and orange zest. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
    • Gradually add the oil and melted butter (you can substitute butter with oil, but the butter adds extra flavor), and continue whisking until fully mixed.
    • Pour in the fresh orange juice and mix again.
  2. Preparing the batter:

    • Sift the flour and baking powder into the egg mixture gradually while stirring to create a well-combined batter with air bubbles inside.
  3. Baking the cake:

    • Grease a cake pan with butter and dust it with flour, then pour the entire batter into the pan.
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes before placing the cake inside.
    • Bake the cake for about 40 minutes or until fully cooked. You can check by inserting a wooden stick into the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  4. Finishing touches:

    • Once the cake has cooled completely, turn it out onto a clean serving plate and cut it into evenly sized pieces.
    • Dust the top with powdered sugar to give it a delicious and attractive look.

And there you have it! Your Muscoutchou with Orange Juice is ready to enjoy. It’s light, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. We hope you enjoy this sweet treat! Bon appétit!
