How to Prepare It (In Just 10 Minutes!)
-
Preheat Your Oven:
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. -
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until slightly frothy. Add the oil, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well. -
Add the Dry Ingredients:
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually add them to the wet mixture, stirring gently until you get a smooth batter. Don’t overmix — you want a tender crumb. -
Pour and Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for about 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will start to smell absolutely divine! -
Finishing Touch:
While the cake is still warm, sprinkle some shredded coconut over the top if desired. It adds a little texture and a tropical vibe that pairs beautifully with the orange flavor. -
Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Trust us — the first warm bite is life-changing!
Tips for a Perfect Orange Cake
-
Use Fresh Orange Juice:
Bottled juice just can’t compare. Fresh-squeezed oranges give the cake its vibrant, natural flavor. -
Zest It Right:
Only grate the bright orange part of the peel — the white pith underneath is bitter. -
Add a Glaze:
For extra shine and sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and orange juice over the cooled cake. -
Customize It:
You can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a touch of cinnamon to put your own spin on it.
