Quick and Easy Orange Delight Cake

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Zest of 1 orange (optional)

Instructions:

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, mix flour, sugar and baking powder. Add orange peel if desired to intensify the flavor even more.

Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the orange juice, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using).

Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.Avoid overmixing as this can result in a dense cake.

Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool: After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Optional garnish: Once cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a little orange juice.Enjoy
