How to Make Orange Spice Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground cloves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ¾ cup fresh orange juice, ½ cup molasses or sorghum, 2 tablespoons orange zest, 1 teaspoon orange extract, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 large egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 16-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, spoon a generous amount of your favorite orange marmalade over the top of the cake.
- Serve garnished with whipped cream and fresh orange slices.
