Mini Orange Cake

6” Orange Cake Recipe

This recipe is for our Mini Almond Cake Kit, or you can use half of a regular Midtown Mix Almond Cake Base jar. Be sure to check out the other recipes that use this base as well!

You provide:

Supplies & Equipment:

  • Included 6” round pan

  • Included parchment paper round

  • Medium mixing bowl and whisk

Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 medium orange (about half a pound)

Preparation:

You will boil an orange for about 45 minutes, once the orange is cooked, preheat oven to 325°F to heat while the cake is prepped.

Add parchment paper to baking pan and grease sides of pan with oil.

Step 1:

Boil the orange in water for about 45 minutes - the orange will float, so spin it a bit every 10 minutes to make sure each part is submerged at some point. Remove the orange from the water and let cool.

Step 2:

Once the orange is cool enough to handle, trim off stem and cut into quarters. Add to food processor or blender and blend until the consistency of a marmalade. Don’t blend to the point of puree.

Step 3:

Add in the 3 eggs and the mini Midtown Mix Almond Cake Mix and run food processor/blender until the ingredients are combined, but not long enough to make completely smooth.

Step 4:

Pour batter into 6” greased cake pan and bake at 325°F for 35 minutes, until center is set and sides are starting to pull away from pan.

Step 5:

Let cool for 10-15 minutes before running a knife along the outside edge and turning over to release cake.


Tips and Ideas:

Cake will keep for up to a week in the fridge, but wrap or cover it to keep fresh

Cracks or crumbs? No problem, dust with powdered sugar to give a nice finished look

Garnishes ideas:

  • Serve with a dollop of Vanilla Greek Yogurt, clotted cream, mascarpone or very lightly sweetened whipped cream
