The Perfect Orange Sponge Cake Recipe

Welcome to our channel! In this video, we are excited to share with you our tried and tested recipe for the perfect orange sponge cake. Whether you are a baking enthusiast or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends with its light and fluffy texture and amazing citrus flavor.

To start, gather all the ingredients you will need: eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, fresh orange juice, and grated orange zest. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature and prepare your cake pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes. Next, gradually add in the vegetable oil while continuing to mix.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, alternating with the fresh orange juice. Gently fold in the grated orange zest until everything is well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will ensure that the cake maintains its moisture and texture.

For the finishing touch, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar or frost it with your favorite icing. Feel free to get creative and decorate it with some orange slices or zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

We hope you enjoy making this delicious orange sponge cake as much as we do.
