DifficultyEasy

This orange cake is a true concentration of sweetness and freshness. Thanks to its soaking in fresh orange juice straight out of the oven, it retains an incredibly moist and melt-in-the-mouth texture, even after several days. Simple to make with everyday ingredients (eggs, sugar, flour, milk), it is perfect to accompany tea or for a vitamin-packed snack. The orange zest brings an intense natural fragrance, while the pressed orange juice soaks into the hot cake, making it irresistibly tender. Once cooled, this golden cake reveals a soft and fragrant crumb that keeps perfectly wrapped in plastic wrap. You can personalize the recipe by adding chocolate chips for a crunchy variation, or glaze the top with apricot jam for a shiny touch. It is the ideal recipe to transform a simple cake into a refined and generous dessert that will please the whole family.

🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt until the mixture turns pale and frothy.

  2. 2

    Add the zest of both oranges and the sunflower oil, then mix well.

  3. 3

    Sift the flour and baking powder over the bowl, then incorporate them into the mixture, stirring until a homogeneous dough forms.

  4. 4

    Pour in the milk and mix one last time to obtain a smooth and shiny batter.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper or buttered and floured. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 45 to 50 minutes. Check doneness with a knife.

  6. 6

    While baking, squeeze the oranges to extract the juice. Upon removal from the oven, generously drizzle the hot cake with the orange juice. Let it cool completely in the pan before unmolding.

Tips & Tricks
  • Use untreated or organic oranges for the zest.
  • Add dark chocolate chips to the batter for a crunchy variation.
  • Wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap to keep it moist for 3 to 4 days.
  • Glaze the top with warm apricot jam for a shiny finish.
