Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups vegetable oil
- 0.75 cups orange juice
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, orange juice, and orange zest. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice the cake and enjoy your A P Spanish Cake with a cup of coffee or tea!
