Zesty Orange Infused Cake with Sweet Citrus Glaze

Orange Cake Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Batter [00:00]

• In a mixing bowl, combine the juice and zest of the orange, eggs, oil, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Beat until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients [00:02]

• Add all-purpose flour to the mixture and beat just to combine. If necessary, use a spatula to help mix.

Step 3: Add Leavening Agents [00:04]

• Gently fold in the baking powder and additional orange zest for flavor. Mix just until combined.

Step 4: Bake the Cake [00:06]

• Pour the batter into a well-greased baking pan and bake until done.

Step 5: Prepare the Syrup [00:08]

• While the cake is baking, make the syrup by combining orange juice and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.

Step 6: Glaze the Cake [00:10]

• Once the cake is baked, while both the cake and syrup are still hot, pour the syrup over the cake and let it sit for 5 minutes to set.

Step 7: Finish and Serve [00:12]

• Garnish with additional orange zest for a decorative touch. Your orange cake is ready to enjoy!
