simple sponge cake recipe

This Orange Sponge Cake is a soft, lightly citrus-flavoured sponge with a fresh orange aroma and a gentle sweetness. The flavour comes from both zest and juice, giving a natural orange taste without being sharp or heavy. It is a calm, everyday fruit cake that suits home baking and beginner confidence.
