Orange Tea Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    230 g unsalted butter
    1 1/2 cups caster sugar
    2 oranges
    4 eggs (separated)
    2 cups self-raising flour (sifted with a pinch of salt)
    2 tablespoons milk
Preparation
    Squeeze oranges for juice, and grate just the orange sides for the rind.
    Make sure not to have any white bits.
    Preheat oven at 350\u00b0F.
    Beat butter and sugar till light and creamy.
    Add orange rind, milk, and blend in egg yolks, one at a time.
    In a separate bowl, beat egg whites till soft peaks form.
    Fold in flour a little at a time, adding orange juice a little at a time in between.
    Fold in egg whites, a little a time, until batter is well mixed.
    Pour into a lined, greased loaf pan and bake in oven for 35-40 minutes, or until cake is cooked in the center.
