1 tsp bigarade zest
85g of soften salted butter or no trans-fat margarine
2½ cup of granulated white sugar
3 medium eggs
1 cup plain flour +1 cup cake flour (1 cup flour less 1 tbsp, add 1 tbsp cornflour and sift) both sifted set aside.

In a recipient, mix butter and granulated white sugar until crumbly. Add the eggs, mix until fluffy and then add the zest. Mix well, set aside.
Now place a sifter on top of the yolk mixture bowl, add the sifted plain flour and cake flour. Sift half of the flour, add the baking powder. And sift all the remaining flour.
Fold the flour with the yolk mixture until combined.
Add 1 tbsp of vanilla essence and 1/3 cup of fresh bigarade juice. Fold in the batter until no liquid is visible. The batter will be smooth. Pour into your prepared pan.
