Orange cake

Fresh orange taste abounds in this delicate and supple orange cake. This basic orange cake recipe is simple to make and gets better with age.

Because we’re using oil instead of butter to add moisture, thoroughly beating your batter is crucial for a light and fluffy crumb. Because this is the only stage that adds air to the cake, I like to use my mixer to give it a lift. Whisk the batter together on high speed for 5 minutes, or until pale and fluffy.

I made this cake at a festival with leftover oranges. I ran out of ingredients for the dessert, so I switched to oranges to make something sweet.  the natural and sweet tangy flavor of oranges made the orange cake a perfect meal. We usually serve 3 savory items at our festival, plus a dessert and juice.
