5-Ingredient Orange Cake

This 5-Ingredient Orange Cake is wonderfully simple, beautifully moist, and packed with real citrus flavour. Whole oranges are blended straight into the batter, giving the cake a deep, aromatic orange taste that feels both fresh and comforting at the same time. With no complicated steps and just a handful of ingredients, it’s the kind of bake that feels almost magical in its simplicity.

Naturally rich from almond flour and gently sweetened with honey, this cake has a tender crumb and a slightly dense, satisfying texture. It’s perfect with a cup of coffee or tea, served as an everyday treat, or dressed up with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of yogurt.
