How to make Tangerine Drizzle Cake
Begin by preheating the oven to 350ºF. Grease a loaf pan with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, zest, sour cream, and juice together until smooth.
Fill the loaf pan with the batter. Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Test by poking the center with a fork or skewer to see if it comes out clean.
Leave to cool in the loaf pan for 5 minutes.
While the cake is cooking in the pan begin the glaze mix. Mix together the rest of the tangerine juice and the rest of the sugar. Mix until the glaze has thickened.
While the cake is still warm, transfer it to a wire rack and prick the warm cake all over with a skewer. Carefully pour over the drizzle mix and ensure that the juice sinks into the cake. The sugar will form a crisp topping while the cake finishes cooling.
