Steps:
- 1. -Preheat oven to 300F -Mix all ingredients together and pour them into a greased and floured pan. -Bake for 45 minutes or until cooked.
- 2. *This cake is versatile, you can substitute oranges with lemons, mandarins, clementines etc. *Feel free to add dried fruits, raisins, nuts etc. I personally like it simple and without any frosting. *This cake freezes very well. When completely cold, wrap it with wax paper then with cling film and freeze it. When ready to eat it, just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw in room temperature for a couple of hours.
Tips:
- Select the right oranges: Opt for ripe, juicy oranges with a deep orange color and a firm feel. Clementines and tangerines can also be used, but they tend to be sweeter and tarter, respectively.
- Zest the oranges before juicing: The zest contains flavorful oils that will enhance the taste of your dish. Use a microplane grater or a citrus zester to remove the zest in thin strips.
- Use fresh orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice is always best. Avoid using store-bought orange juice, as it can be diluted or contain preservatives that may alter the taste of your dish.
- Don't boil the orange sauce: Overheating the orange sauce can cause it to become bitter. Simmer it gently over low heat until it has reached the desired consistency.
- Serve immediately: Orange dishes are best served immediately after they are made. The flavors are at their peak and the textures are at their best when served fresh.
Conclusion:
With their vibrant color, tangy flavor, and versatility, oranges are a delightful addition to a wide range of dishes. From sweet and savory main courses to refreshing desserts and beverages, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, oranges offer something for every palate and occasion.
