Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then add the orange juice, vegetable oil, and orange zest. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined to form a smooth batter.
  2. Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  3. Bake the cake. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  4. Cool and serve. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your moist and flavorful orange loaf cake!

Notes

  • For extra orange flavor, add an orange glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of orange juice and drizzling it over the cooled cake.
  • If you prefer a lighter texture, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with cake flour.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee.
