  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large fresh oranges (preferably organic)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups of sugar
  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Wash the oranges thoroughly. Using a blender, blend the oranges (including peel) until smooth, ensuring no seeds remain. This orange puree will infuse your moist cake with authentic Persian citrus flavor.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure an even rise and light, airy texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil, and continue to beat until combined.
  4. Gradually fold in the orange puree into the egg mixture. Then, add the sifted dry ingredients, folding until homogeneous. The orange puree keeps the cake moist and flavorful.
  5. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  7. Garnish with powdered sugar or orange slices if desired. Serve with tea or coffee for a fragrant, moist dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality oranges for optimal flavor and aroma.
  • Accurate measurement of ingredients ensures consistent results.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender, moist crumb.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
