Orange Blender Cake Recipe
Orange cake is my new favourite Baking recipe. This is one of the easy cake which you can make on a weekday or weekend. The entire cake batter is made in a blender and transferred straight to a loaf pan and baked.
What I like most about the cake is the orange flavour in this cake is so intense and refreshing. Your whole house will be filled with citrus orange flavour when you're making this cake.
About Whole Orange Blender Cake
Orange blender cake recipe is made using one whole orange with skin. The entire fruit is chopped and added into a blender along with the remaining ingredients and the batter is done. The batter is then poured into a loaf pan and baked.
I like to use large size fresh oranges for this cake. Make sure you use seedless oranges or remove the seeds from the orange completely. Even one seed can make the cake taste bitter.
The cake needs just a handful of ingredients which you might already have on hand. Add all the ingredients into a blender and purée to make the batter. The batter is then poured into the cake pan and baked.
Similar Recipes
In this cake I have added the flour into the blender, but I found out, the batter is hard to get out once flour is added. Most batter ends up in the blender.
So I suggest you to skip adding the flour into the blender. Instead pour the blended orange mix over the flour like I have done in my banana blender cake.
You can serve the cake as it is or make an icing to pour over the cake.
Ingredients
- Oranges - you need one whole orange for this recipe. When I cut the oranges, I remove all the seeds from them, because that is what makes the cake bitter.
- Eggs - use large eggs for this recipe. You cannot swap any other ingredient for eggs in this recipe.
- Sugar - I used granulated sugar for the cake batter.
- Oil - You need oil or melted butter to make the cake moist. I like to use sunflower oil.
- Raising Agent - baking soda, baking powder is added, helps make the cake soft and rise in oven.
- Flour - use plain flour for the cake batter. You can use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour.

Pre preparation
1)Prepare oranges as mentioned. Wash one whole orange really well, cut it in half and remove all the seeds from the oranges. Chop oranges into bite-size pieces. Make sure that orange doesn't have any seed even one seed can make the cake taste bitter. We will be using one whole orange entirely.
Make Cake Batter
2) Take a blender jar. Add oranges and sugar. I am using granulated sugar, brown sugar may change the colour of the cake.
3)Crack open eggs directly into the blender. You need 2 eggs, use room temp eggs.
4)Now pour in oil or melted butter. Use any neutral tasting oil.
5) Now blend this mixture for at least 45 seconds to 1 minute. The orange should be blended well.
6) Now I am making the entire cake batter in the blender itself. So I added plain flour in the blender jar.
7)Add in baking powder and baking soda.
8)You need a little bit of salt to balance the taste.
9) Once the flour is added, you should just pulse few times to bring the batter together. Don't over blend the batter.
Baking Orange Cake
10)Pour the batter into a parchment lined baking pan. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes.
11) Remove the cake pan from the oven. Check the cake doneness by inserting a toothpick. If the toothpick comes clean then the cake is done.
12)Once cake is baked, remove from oven and cool completely. Remove the cake from pan and set aside.
13)Once cake is cooled, cut the cake into thick slices.
14)Super soft orange filled cake is done. Serve.

FAQ
Making cake using whole orange doesn't add any bitterness to the cake. But If there is even a single seed when blending it may make the cake bitter. So make sure you remove all seeds from the orange before making the batter.
This cake doesn't need any pre cooking of oranges. But oranges are boiled to soften and remove the bitterness from the pith (white part of rind). After this, they are blitzed - rind and all - with the remaining ingredients to make the batter.
Always measure your ingredients prior to baking. Don't over mix your batter or over bake your cake.
This orange cake is similar to a tea cake. So any heavy frosting doesn't go well with this cake. But you can make a thin orange icing or glaze for this cake. Recipe is given above.
