📖 Recipe
40+ Best Orange Desserts: Orange Cake & More
Ingredients
- 5 Eggs
- 1 ¼ cup Granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 2 ¼ cups Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160c (320f) and prep a 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Carefully separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and pour the egg whites to a stand mixer with a balloon attachment and gradually add the sugar over medium speed.
- Whip the mixture on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. You want stiff peaks in this mixture. Add the orange juice, egg yolks, orange zest, vanilla extract, kosher salt, vegetable oil, and mix over low speed until combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix until there are no flour lumps visible.
- Pour the batter into a parchment paper lined 9 inch round baking pan and smooth it out using a spatula.
- Bake in a 160c (320f) preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Top the cake with as much powder sugar as you would like, we like to top it with thin slices of orange and mint leaves.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have a moist cake and not a dense and dry cake.
- Butter your pan with butter and sprinkle flour to prevent sticking. This step helps the cake to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your cake will release easily from the pan.
- Make sure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the cake to stick to the pan.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat this cake as soon as it's ready. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature before eating the cake. This step prevents the cake to fall apart.
- Use fresh orange juice and fresh orange zest! This step can transform your cake and make it so delicious, fresh, flavorful, and zesty.
