🍊 Orange Cake

Turn your Bonpan Cake Mix into a soft, citrusy orange cake with fresh orange juice and zest.

Ingredients

  • 1 bag Bonpan Cake Mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk
  • ½ cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup (57 g) butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1½ teaspoons fresh orange zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, orange juice, vegetable oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
  3. Add the Bonpan Cake Mix and mix just until everything is well combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  5. Bake at 350°F for approximately 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely before frosting.

  • 🍊 Optional Orange Glaze

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup (120 g) confectioners' sugar
    • 2–3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
    • ½ teaspoon fresh orange zest
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

    Instructions

    1. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
    2. Mix until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more orange juice a little at a time until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
    3. Make sure the cake is completely cooled before adding the glaze.
    4. Pour or drizzle the glaze over the cake, allowing it to gently run down the sides.
    5. Finish with a little fresh orange zest, if desired.
    6. Allow the glaze to set for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.
