Beat and Bake Orange Cake image

This quick orange cake is delicious without the frosting. I sometimes just sprinkle icing sugar on the top. This recipe can be used to make two 8-inch cake layers or a 9x5-inch loaf. If making a loaf cake, bake for 60 minutes.

Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ cups superfine sugar
½ cup milk
½ cup orange juice
½ cup vegetable oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 ½ teaspoons grated orange zest
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • In a measuring cup, combine milk, 1/2 cup orange juice, oil, beaten eggs, and 1 1/2 teaspoon orange zest. Set aside.
  • Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Mix in sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  • Divide batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  • To make Orange Butter Frosting: Cream butter until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons orange juice to bring to spreading consistency. Stir in vanilla and 1 teaspoon orange zest.

I'm not a big fan of orange cake, but this recipe is pretty good. The cake is moist and the orange flavor is not too overpowering.
