Orange Cake

Looking for a delicious and moist cake recipe that's perfect for the whole family? Look no further than the sweet and buttery orange cake! This cake boasts a light and fluffy texture with a delightful orange flavor that's sure to please everyone's taste buds.

To achieve the perfect taste and aroma, be sure to use the best quality oranges available. We recommend using Naval Oranges as they are sweet, juicy and widely available throughout the year. Plus, they are larger in size and contain more juice without any seeds, also known as 'belly button oranges'.

When making this cake, it's important to filter the squeezed orange juice to remove any pulp or seeds. And before grating, be sure to wash your oranges thoroughly and only grate the outer rind to avoid any bitter taste from the white pith underneath.

Whether you're making this cake for a special occasion or simply as a sweet treat for the family, it's sure to become a household favorite. So why not give it a try and share your thoughts in the comments below?
