If you loved my orange loaf cake that went absolutely bonkers on social, this whole orange cake is for you!
This recipe calls for 1 whole naval orange! You’ll place the entire orange in a large stock pot and boil it for 45 minutes. Why? Not only does it soften the orange, it also helps remove some of the bitterness that is housed in the peel itself. It’s critical that you don’t skip this step — I’ve tested this recipe without boiling the orange, and it gave the entire cake a bitter taste that is really off-putting.
try it!
Orange Loaf Cake
Calling all orange lovers! If you haven’t tried my orange loaf, now’s your chance.
I’ve tested this recipe to make muffins instead of a whole cake, and it worked great! Here’s what you need to do:
The orange flavors in this cake offer a multitude of delicious pairing options! It would taste heavenly with a hot cup of pour over coffee or this vanilla sweet cream cold brew.
Store this orange cake in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 3 days.
Can I free this whole orange cake? If you’re planning to freeze this cake, I suggest freezing before frosting. Let the cake cool completely and then tightly wrap it with a piece of tin foil. Freeze for up to 3 months, and frost after thawing.
