Orange Cake Recipe:

Описание: Orange Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Oranges: Use 2 sweet, seedless oranges (navel, Cara Cara, or Valencia all work well). If the oranges have very little white pith under the rind, you can skip removing it. Thicker pith should be trimmed to avoid bitterness
Remaining cake ingredients: eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, salt.
Glaze or frosting (optional): butter, icing sugar, orange juice, and orange zest
Substitutions
Flour – you can substitute 1/4 of the all-purpose flour with almond flour or whole wheat flour. Replacing more than that will change the texture of the cake and make it denser.


I use a thin orange buttercream glaze, but you can easily adjust it. For a thicker frosting, use more butter and icing (confectioner’s) sugar or less orange juice.
A 3-minute chocolate buttercream icing (like we use on our best banana cake) is excellent here because chocolate and orange are a perfect pairing.
Or try this cream cheese frosting from our blueberry cake recipe. Add orange zest to make it an orange cream cheese frosting.
Decoration – For a simple finish, try orange peel, thinly sliced orange slices, a dusting of confectioner sugar, chocolate shavings, or crushed toasted nuts.
