Orange Cake with Orange Glaze Recipe

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients:

  • 1 1/8 cups Flour
  • 3 Eggs
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • ⅓ cup Orange juice
  • ¼ cup Oil
  • ½ tsp Grated orange zest
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ⅓ tsp Vanilla
  • a pinch Salt

Glaze Ingredients:

  • ½ cup Orange juice
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • ½ tbsp Corn starch
  • ½ tablespoonful Soft butter

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, and sift them together.
  • Separate the yolks and whites of the eggs and put each in a separate bowl.
  • Separate ¼ of the sugar (for the whites) and the remaining ¾ (for the yolks).
  • Mix ¾ of the sugar, yolks, and vanilla together, and beat them with an electric mixer for about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Clean and dry the beaters of the mixer. Beat the whites with an electric mixer for about 1 minute until they become foamy and white. Add the remaining ¼ sugar gradually to the whites while beating until the whites become slightly firm.
  • Now add the liquid oil to the yolks that were inside a separate bowl.
  • While the mixer is still on, add the orange juice to it.
  • Add the grated orange zest.
  • At this stage, add the beaten whites to the yolks. Fold the whites into the yolks gently with a spatula or a hand mixer.
  • Add the flour, which you sifted with baking powder and salt, back onto the mixture in two or three stages.
  • Place a 20 cm round cake pan with parchment paper on the bottom. Pour the prepared mixture into the pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 40 to 50 minutes.

Glaze / Orange Sauce Instructions:

  • Mix orange juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Mix well and do not let the cornstarch clump.
  • Place the mixture over low heat. If the heat is too high, the orange juice will burn. Allow the liquid to thicken gradually, like custard.
  • After 5 to 10 minutes, add the butter and mix well. Remove the orange glaze from the heat and let it cool slightly. It should not cool completely because it will become firm.
