Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup applesauce ((1 cup vegetable oil total can be used instead of applesauce))
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 orange or 3 clementines (zest of)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 10 inch fluted cake pan by spraying with baking spray (or using the homemade version mentioned above).
  • In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil, applesauce, orange juice, vanilla and zest. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix on medium low, just until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before gently removing from pan onto a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, carefully place cake on a cake stand and top with sifted powdered sugar. Enjoy!
