Ever since creating my Citrus Berry Sourdough Blossoms, I have been on a citrus flavor kick. This week, I wanted to share a delightful recipe I found for a Moist Orange Cake. This cake is incredibly easy to make and has quickly become one of my favorite homemade treats. I was inspired to make this after a busy day running errands, from getting an oil change to picking up groceries and little man’s haircut, and finally cooking supper. I needed something simple yet satisfying, and this cake was perfect.
Unlike reaching for a box mix, which I’m not against, I prefer knowing exactly what goes into my cakes. That’s why I loved this recipe from Cakes by MK. It’s straightforward and uses ingredients I already had on hand. Although the recipe is provided in grams, the author also includes exact measurements for convenience. Be sure to read the recipe card carefully, as there’s a note about a mistake in the milk measurement in the video portion.
Less sugar in the icing to enhance the citrus flavor!
For the icing, I followed the instructions closely but made a crucial adjustment. I reduced the confectioner’s sugar to 3 1/2 cups instead of the 4 1/2 cups called for in the original recipe. My family has become accustomed to less sugar, and I find it enhances the flavors without overwhelming sweetness. Honestly, I might cut it down by another cup next time, but for now, this balance was just right.
When the author says this cake is moist, she means it! The key is gently stirring in the dry ingredients. This technique ensures a tender, moist cake that melts in your mouth.
I highly recommend trying out this Moist Orange Cake recipe from Cakes by MK. If you do, be sure to let her know I sent you! Comment below and let me know your thoughts.
Enjoy baking, and happy tasting!
