Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 0.75 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or unsweetened non-soy plant-based milk, e.g., almond milk or oat milk)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (soy-free, e.g., canola oil or sunflower oil)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Additional orange juice (for optional glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the orange zest and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and additional orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Slice and serve your zesty orange cake. Enjoy!
