Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend the Base
In a blender, combine:
Orange juice
Orange zest
Eggs
Sugar
Oil
Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and frothy.
2. Add the Flour
Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Gradually add the self-rising flour and mix gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
3. Bake the Cake
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
Grease a bundt or standard round cake pan with butter or oil
Pour the batter into the pan
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
Optional Finishing Touches
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar after cooling
Drizzle with a light orange glaze for added sweetness and shine
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy with a warm cup of tea or coffee
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert
Use as a base for a lemon or carrot layer cake by swapping out the juice and zest
Tips & Variations
