How to Make Easy Moroccan Orange Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Zest and juice 2 medium oranges (about 1/2 cup juice and 2 tablespoons zest).
- In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar together until thick and pale yellow (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
- Gradually beat in ½ cup vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Then stir in the orange juice.
- Beat until smooth, then stir in the orange zest and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 7-10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, garnish with slivered almonds and powdered sugar (optional).
