Ingredients for Orange Sponge Cake:
250 g soft butter
130 g sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
1 pinch of salt
4 eggs
280 g flour

Preheat the oven to 350°F top/bottom heat. Beat the soft butter with the sugar, vanilla sugar and salt until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs.
Finely grate 1 orange and add the zest. Mix the flour with the baking powder and stir in alternately with the milk. Pour the batter into the loaf tin and smooth it down. Bake in the lower third for approx. 45 min.
Tear the second orange peel into thin strips with a zester. Put the strips aside for garnishing. Squeeze the oranges. Mix 3-4 tbsp of the juice with the icing sugar to make a thick glaze.
