Instructions:
- Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or 8-inch round cake pan. - Blend the Wet Ingredients
In a blender, add the quartered orange (yes, with the peel!), eggs, oil, and sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy — about 1 minute. - Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the blender. Pulse just until combined — don’t overmix. - Bake It
Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool & Serve
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light orange glaze if desired.
Optional Orange Glaze:
Mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons fresh orange juice. Drizzle over the cooled cake for an extra citrus punch.
Tips for Success:
- Use a thin-skinned orange like navel or Valencia. If the peel is very thick or bitter, you can remove a bit of it to avoid overpowering the cake.
- This cake keeps beautifully! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, swap part of the oil with melted butter or add a splash of orange liqueur.
