This is probably one of the easiest cake recipes you will have encountered.
I saw the recipe a while back and was intrigued by the fact that it was made in a blender, and the main ingredient was a whole.... I mean a whole orange.
Skin and all!
Hence, I saved the recipe for a future try out.
Future arrived when I had a bunch of oranges left in the fridge with no one eating them.
I followed the recipe to a T but chose to use 2 orages instead of one, which I believe was a good idea because the orange flavor was more intense.
Naturally, I had to have the cake pose for a few shots as well, before being devoured.
And devoured it was....
Here's the recipe if you are interested in baking your own.
Ingredients
1 large whole thin-skinned orange: Unpeeled and cut into small pieces
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar: (275 grams)
2/3 cup canola oil: (140 grams)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour: (300 grams)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Powdered sugar: For dusting
Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and position the baking rack in the center. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a large blender, combine the orange pieces, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Blend until the mixture is well combined and the orange is completely puréed.
Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Pulse until just incorporated, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let the cake cool on a rack for 10 minutes before removing the springform collar. Allow it to cool completely.
Serve: Dust the top with powdered sugar, slice, and enjoy!
You could create this cake replacing the oranges with lemons, except then it would be called lemon cake.😉
