Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or a 9-inch round cake pan.
- 2
Place the eggs, orange juice and oil in a blender. Blend for about 1 minute until smooth and slightly frothy.
- 3
Add the sifted flour and sugar. Blend again for 1–2 minutes until the batter is completely smooth and lump-free.
- 4
Add the baking powder and orange zest. Gently fold with a spatula to combine — avoid over-mixing at this stage to keep the cake light.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 6
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra citrusy finish, poke the warm cake all over with a skewer and drizzle with a simple orange syrup: heat the juice of one orange with 2 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
