Soft and fluffy orange cake made in a blender
Chef’s Tips for Success
Make It Zesty
The secret to that bold, citrus-forward flavor is in the zest. Don’t skip it. I always use a microplane grater for the finest zest without any bitter white pith. If you love citrus, you might also enjoy this zesty lemon cake recipe another easy favorite for fruit-forward desserts.
Switch It Up
You can easily customize this base recipe. Stir in chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, or even chocolate chips for a fun twist. If you’re into condensed milk baking, you might also like the banana condensed milk cake, which is just as quick and satisfying.
Perfect With Coffee or Tea
This cake isn’t just for dessert. Serve it warm with a cup of homemade crepes and coffee for a dreamy brunch setup, or slice it alongside your morning tea for a refreshing start to the day.
Common Questions About Orange Blender Cake
Can I use store bought orange juice?
Technically yes, but fresh juice gives a brighter, cleaner flavor. Bottled juice often has added sugar and preservatives, which can alter the taste and texture. Always go fresh when possible.
What type of oil works best?
I recommend neutral oils like vegetable, canola, or sunflower oil. If you want a slightly richer flavor, try using light olive oil. For more oil-based bakes, check out this vanilla pound cake that’s equally soft and buttery without needing butter.
Can I make this gluten-free?
You can try using a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend in place of the all-purpose flour. Just be aware that texture may vary slightly depending on the blend you choose.
How long does it keep?
This cake keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can refrigerate it for up to 5 days or freeze slices for future snacking. It’s great for meal prep just like our easy egg cups recipe
