Ultimate Orange Cake

the Ultimate Orange Cake Recipe

Introducing the Ultimate Orange Cake Recipe - so delicious, incredibly airy, and always a success! The best part? It's super easy: just mix everything together and pop it in the oven.

When I'm not in the mood for a complicated bake (like separating eggs), I go for this foolproof, fluffy orange cake. I love to drizzle a bit of orange juice over the warm cake to ensure it's extra juicy. But if you prefer a less moist cake, feel free to skip this step – it'll still be fantastic. Fancy an orange and coconut twist? Substitute one cup of flour with ground coconut for an even juicier outcome.

Pan Size: 26 cm Kugelhopf or 2 English cake pans

Cake Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1.5 cups or 300 grams of white sugar
  • 1 cup or 240 ml canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 cup or 240 ml orange juice
  • 2.5 cups or 350 grams white flour
  • 1 packet baking powder or 10 grams (depending on packet size)

For Moistening the Cake (optional):

  • 1/2 cup or 120 ml orange juice

For Serving:

  • Powdered sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit)
  2. In a bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, grated zest, and orange juice until smooth. Add flour and baking powder and mix until combined.
  3. Grease the pan and sprinkle a bit of sugar to prevent sticking. Spread the mixture in the pan and bake for about 40 minutes, until the cake is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out almost dry.
  4. For a moister cake: evenly drizzle 1/2 cup of orange juice over the hot cake using a spoon.
  5. Let it cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.

Enjoy this effortless, delightful cake that's sure to win everyone's heart! Perfect for any occasion.
