Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup fresh orange juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with fresh orange juice until well blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan. Place it in the middle rack of the oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Check the cake at 45 minutes to avoid over-baking.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely for easier slicing and better texture.
  • Optional: Add orange zest to the batter for enhanced citrus aroma.
