Easy Orange Cake Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange zest

  about 3 oranges
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1/2 cup butter

  melted
• 1 cup fresh orange juice

  about 3-4 oranges
• 4 large eggs

  at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• zest of ½ orange
• 2 tablespoons orange juice

  about 1/2 orange

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan, spray with baking
  spray with flour or line with parchment.
• 2 In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
• 3 In a separate bowl, combine sugar and orange zest, rubbing the zest into the
  sugar with your fingertips– this helps enhance the orange flavor. Add the oil,
  melted butter, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.
• 4 Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and whisk together until the
  flour is incorporated, but be careful not to overmix. Pour the batter into the
  prepared loaf pan.
• 5 Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
  mostly clean. If needed, tent a piece of foil over the cake toward the end of
  baking if it browns too quickly. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes
  before removing from the pan to cool completely on a wire rack.
• 6 Whisk together powdered sugar, zest, and juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  Drizzle over the cooled cake and let it stand until set. Store the cake in an
  airtight container for up to 5 days.
