Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Large orange (seedless, skin on)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 3 Large eggs
- 240 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Wash the orange thoroughly and cut it into quarters. Ensure there are no seeds.
In a blender, add the orange quarters (with the peel), granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Pour the orange mixture from the blender into the bowl of dry ingredients. Using a spatula or a whisk, gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and tender.
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 in 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, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
