Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch or 9-inch loaf pan with oil and line with an over hang of baking paper.
Before juicing the oranges, you should remove the zest.
In a small bowl, combine the cane sugar and orange zest. Rub the mixture between your fingers until the sugar is fragrant and the zest releases its oils.
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well and set aside. Add the sugar mixture to milk and mix until combined.
Combine and sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into milk-orange juice mixture and gently stir until just combined - avoid over mixing.
Add the melted butter to the batter and stir until the texture is smooth and everything is well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle some coarse sugar or castor sugar on top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.Let the cake cool in the pan for about 25 minutes, then carefully remove it and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
