As soon as you take a bite of this orange cake, you will be reminded of your grandma’s house. A moist cake with a hint of orange. I always make this cake with my fiancées little sister, I haven’t made it once without her. It’s our recipe and the whole family loves it!
The Recipe:
4 eggs
1 cup canola oil
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup extra fine sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp orange zest
3/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
The how to:
Preheat your oven to 325F.
First get your ingredients ready, so grate the orange for zest, juice your orange for 3/4 cup juice, separate the egg whites from their yolks. And if you do not have fine sugar you can throw normal white sugar into a blender and blend it until it becomes powder. Lastly, remove 1/4 cup sugar from the 1 1/2 cups and save for later on.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour(make sure you sift), sugar, salt, baking powder and orange zest and mix. Then make a well in the centre of your dry ingredients and add the oil, egg yolks, vanilla and orange juice. Mix together until it becomes a batter.
In a separate bowl, with a hand mixer, blend the egg whites until they become fluffy while slowly adding in the 1/4 cup sugar. Once fluffy add the egg whites to the batter and mix together with a wooden spoon until all is combined. Transfer the cake batter into a bundt cake pan and let sit in the oven for 1 hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
