Orange Cake with Whole Oranges

I’m so excited about this orange cake recipe! You know I love love love cake, so when I was in the market recently and saw a gorgeous display of oranges, it reminded me of an article I read in a waiting room years ago.

There was a chef in the magazine who made the most decadent looking orange cake with whole oranges.  Rind and all! So, I saw those gorgeous navel oranges in the produce section, and decided to just go for it!

We used a box of vanilla cake mix, eggs, butter, and navel orange puree.  Orange cake made with cake mix and whole navel oranges is so easy and incredibly delicious! Just like in our Valentine’s Cake, we switched the oil for butter, and added an extra egg.

The cake is baked in eight inch rounds and then iced with both white icing, and a simple orange juice glaze.

Orange cake is bright and citrusy, so we use a simple white icing filling to offset the bold flavor.  It works perfectly and is such a classic combination.

I love the way the white icing looks in contrast to the orange cake, but if you wanted to continue the vanilla flavor into the icing, that would be awesome too.


Ingredients

  • Orange Cake
  • 1 box vanilla cake mix
  • 1 stick of butter melted
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups pureed whole navel oranges about 2 medium oranges
  • Icing:
  • 2 cans white icing
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup pulp free orange juice
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine cake mix, butter, eggs, and orange puree and combine with an electric mixer.
  2. Pour into two greased 8 inch round baking pans and bake on center rack for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  3. For the icing, while cake is cooling, whisk together 1 can of icing and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add to a piping bag.
  4. For the glaze, in a small bowl add 1 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Then whisk in orange juice until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. When cake is cooled, spread remaining can of icing between layers. Then pipe powdered sugar/icing mix on outside of cake. To pipe rosettes, start in the middle then move the tip in a counter-clockwise spiral around the center.
  6. When the sides are covered, pipe a circle on the top of the cake, at the outermost edge, to keep the glaze from spilling over.
  7. Pour glaze on top of cake, and garnish with a slice of orange.
  8. Enjoy!
