The cake pictured below is a yummi creamy orange bundt cake. I like making it so much because it actually uses a whole orange, peel and all, blended.
I wonder if I could substitute the orange for something else?
Anyway, I am working on putting together a menu of cakes. The apartment complex I live in has ‘food nights’ every week, and I will be making some ‘Fall themed’ desserts for this Thursday.
So far my list is:
‘Whole Orange’ Cake (pictured)
Pumpkin Cupcakes
Applesauce Cake
Nonna’s coconut cookies (may not sound very fall-ish, but they’re awesome, so I don’t care). Will possibly make two batches.
That’s it for now. I will be baking a lot this week so expect more yummi pictures!
Whole Orange Cake Recipe:
1 cup oil
3 eggs
1 whole orange, cut into quarters (yes, the whole thing, peel and all)
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
Mix eggs + oil + orange in blender until liquid
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, then add liquid orange mixture
Mix thoroughly.
Pour into greased bundt pan, then sprinkle lots of sugar on top.
Baking:
Now comes the ‘tricky’ part. Start baking at 400°F.
After 10 minutes, lower temperature to 375°F. Wait another 10 minutes, and lower it to 350° . Bake for a remaining 10 minutes (all adds up to 30 minutes total).
Let it cool and remove from bundt pan. Enjoy!
looks very good!
Hello Belle, just found your new blog, good luck with it and I did have a questions on this recipe-
To Mix all the ingredients together do we use an electric mixer or just with a fork?
thanks, I really want to try it.

Thanks!
After blending the orange + wet ingredients, I just mix the rest of the recipe with a spoon in a large bowl, no need for an electric mixer
This looks great! Do you think it would work with a loaf pan? My bundt pan got commandeered by my sister-in-law for her holiday baking.
You might be good with a loaf pan, perhaps cooking it for a bit longer? I want to try and make cupcake versions of this, we will see how it goes.
