ORANGE SPONGE CAKE RECIPE

Here comes the recipe for beautifully moist, zesty and super spongy Orange Cake. This is a super easy orange cake to bake and is both light and fluffy. So Lets get started.

Ingredients:

4 Egg Whites
1 tsp Vinegar
120 grams ( 1/2 cup) Fine Sugar
4 Egg yolks
120 grams plain Flour (1/2 cup)
1/2 tsp Salt
30 grams (1 1/2 tbsp) Oil
40 ml ( 8 tsp ) Fresh Orange Juice
1 Tbsp Orange Zest
Food Coloring

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 150° C .
• Beat egg whites + Vinegar. You can use any electric mixer to beat these.
•  Add sugar after one minute of beating as shown in the video. Beat till stiff peaks are formed.
• Add egg yolks and fold with a whisk.
• Add flour + salt mixture in batches and keep folding with the whisk.
• Add liquid mixture i.e. oil+orange juice+orange zest + some orange food colour.
• Fold with a spatula and shift in the baking pan lined with the parchment paper.
• Tap the pan on the kitchen counter 2-3 times and then bake the cake at 150°C for 35 minutes, and after 35 minutes increase the temperature to 170°C and bake for another 3 minutes.
• Once the cake is done, take it put of the oven and keep it on a wire rack for cooling. Once cool, take it out of the pan and remove the parchment paper.
• Now in another small bowl take dark chocolate. Microwave the Cream for 30 seconds and pour the cream over the chocolate. The chocolate should be properly immersed in the hot cream. Keep it like this for 3-5 minutes and after that mix with a spoon.
• This is our chocolate ganache which we are going to pour over our orange cake.
• Pour the ganache over the cake and sprinkle some confetti or sprinkles. (I have used here some yellow colored sprinkles. )
• Enjoy!!
