Orange cake

Orange cake is a cake flavored with orange juice, zest, or extract. It can be a layer cake, Bundt cake, cupcakes, or even a sheet cake. The cake can be frosted or unfrosted, and is often decorated with orange slices.

The first orange cake recipe appeared in The Ladies’ Home Companion in 1876. The cake was made with sour oranges, which were popular at the time. The recipe called for the oranges to be grated and added to the batter.

Since then, orange cake recipes have evolved. For example, the addition of orange zest to the batter is now common. And, while sour oranges are no longer as popular as they once were, you can still find recipes that call for them.

Advice

When making an orange cake, it is important to use fresh oranges rather than canned oranges for the best flavor. It is also important to use the zest of the orange along with the juice to give the cake a delicious citrus flavor. When adding the orange juice, it is best to strain it to remove any pulp. Additionally, adding a bit of orange extract can give the cake an extra pop of flavor. Finally, when baking the cake, make sure to keep an eye on it and check it frequently with a toothpick to ensure it is cooked all the way through.
