When it comes to fruit, winter fruit is my favourite so naturally I couldn’t resist making a delicious moist Orange Cake Recipe.

I actually made two different types of glazes for it, one a powdered sugar glaze and another one was a  stove top glaze, but both were made with fresh orange juice.

We like them both but I think our favourite it the powdered sugar glaze.

This is one of those cakes that is so good you start eating it in the morning for breakfast with a cup of coffee, and then in the afternoon with a cup tea and eh why not a slice for dessert after dinner!

What’s so great about this Orange Bundt Cake is you don’t even have to bring out the beaters! Just mix with a fork.

How to make this Simple Glazed Orange Cake.

  • Whisk the dry ingredients together.
  • Beat with a fork or whisk the eggs and milk.
  • Mix together just until combined the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients.
  • Pour into the bundt pan or cake pan and bake for about 40 minutes.
  • Let cool and then top with a simple powdered sugar glaze or a syrupy glaze.

Since living in Italy I noticed, that when they make a cake everything is mixed with a fork or a wooden spoon, spatulas have just become popular in the last couple of years.

My mother-in-law used to use a spoon to get all the batter out of her bowls, I used to find that fascinating, especially since she would get every drop.

Last Sunday my mother-in-law’s brother and his family came for a visit and I decided to bring this Orange Cake to serve with coffee after lunch.

My husband who had been talking to someone outside,  came into the kitchen to have his coffee and have a slice of Orange Cake, which he was lucky to get since not much remained of this cake!

So good I hope you like it, let me know what you think. Enjoy! Happy Sunday.

    ORANGE CAKE

    • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • pinch salt

    ORANGE CAKE

    • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar, add butter and cut in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then stir in the zest.
    • In a medium bowl with a fork or whisk beat together the eggs and milk, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir together until just moist (do not over stir, about 18 stirs). (If you like more orange flavour add the juice of half an orange).

            Is there any way I could convert this recipe into a blueberry cake?

          • Rosemary says

            July 14, 2020 at 8:27 pm

            Hi Jade, if you like blueberry and lemon you could substitute the orange with lemon zest or just leave it out and then fold in 1/2 cup of blueberries, or you could check out this Blueberry cake.https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/easy-blueberry-cake-with-a-vanilla-glaze/ Hope this helps. Let me know.

        I made this for an afternoon tea and it turned out beautifully – so delicious and such a fine crumb. My friend requested seconds, which is unusual. This is now my go-to coffee cake recipe. Thanks for sharing!

        Hi,
        Just as you i really loooooove winterfruits, so orangecake’s one of my favorite cakes. I like them in al shapes and sizes, if there’s a lot of orange flavour! Now with your cake, with only the zest and juice of a half orange, i’m afraid the orange flavour ‘s not prominent enough in your cake. The only one who can tell me that is you. So, i hope you’ll tell me if it taste a lot like orange or just in the background of the ake/taste.
        Thanks for reading my question. I hope to hear from you soon.
        Marja

          Hi Marja, actually the recipe calls for the zest of a whole orange. I found it the perfect taste of orange, although I don’t really like an overwhelming flavour, but I’m sure you could add more if you want and it would be fine. It’s a really good cake so maybe you could try it as is and if you want it stronger next time add more orange zest and juice. Hope that helps. Have a great weekend.
