Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use bottled orange juice?
Fresh juice is best, but bottled works in a pinch. Just make sure it’s 100% orange juice without added sugar.
Can I make this cake without the glaze?
Absolutely! The cake is delicious on its own — the glaze just adds an extra citrusy touch.
How do I store the cake?
Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for a week.
Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes! This recipe is naturally dairy-free since it uses oil instead of butter.
Ingredients:
3 eggs at room temperature
1 packet of Dreem Orange Vanilla (or any orange-flavored vanilla)
1 cup sugar
¾ cup fresh orange juice
½ cup vegetable oil
1½ cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
For the glaze (optional but delicious):
6 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
How to Make It:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease your baking pan with butter or oil.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the orange vanilla, orange juice, and oil — mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let it cool slightly, then drizzle with the orange glaze.
Enjoy the most delicious and moist orange cake ever!
