This quick orange cake is a loaf cake.  And an easy and quick one as its name implies.
All you need for ingredient is a lonely orange and the cake core ingredients plus a good food processor. No butter here, it is replaced by oil, which makes the cake quite light. Everything goes into the food processor (or pretty much, the flour is added after in a bog bowl), whizzzz, and this is it!
The recipe is from the Australian Country Women Association. In this version I have added three generous handfuls of walnuts.
Ingredients
- 1 orange cut in quarters, skin and all kept (feel free to remove the pips)
- 1 1/4 cup of oil (sunflower for e.g.)
- 1.5 cup of caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups of self raising flour
- Here in the version pictured I have added three handfuls of walnuts roughly broken up (by hand)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and butter and flour a loaf tin
- Cut the orange in quarters, place in the food processor with the eggs, sugar, oil and mix until blended (don’t worry if there are tiny bits of oranges here and there, this will be lovely)
- If you food processor is large enough add the flour and walnuts (if adding) and mix, otherwise transfer to a bowl and mix in the flour.
- Place in the prepared loaf tin and bake for about 45 minutes or until cooked.
