How to make Orange Cake

You don’t need to go to a nearby restaurant or nearby food place. Here you find Pretty food, Meal prep and without having to buy online cooking classes.

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
2½ cups all-purpose flour/wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 eggs

Directions:

In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar and beat until well combined. Then add the oil, orange juice and orange zest. Mix until everything is well combined.

Gradually add the flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Then add the baking powder and gently mix until fully incorporated. Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.

Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F (200°C) for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool slightly before removing it from the pan.

Orange Syrup:

3 tablespoons sugar
Juice of 1 orange

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and orange juice. Cook over medium heat until the mixture is hot and the sugar dissolves completely. Don’t boil — just heat enough to make a simple syrup.

Pour the hot syrup over the cake while it’s still warm for extra flavor and moisture.

Tip: this cake is perfect for breakfast or afternoon coffee. You can also sprinkle some orange zest on top for an even more intense citrus aroma!
