🍊 Easy Orange Blender Cake

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 whole orange, seedless (with peel if thin-skinned, like Valencia or mandarin; otherwise peel thick-skinned ones)

• 3 large eggs

• 1 cup (200 g) sugar

• ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil

• 1 ½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• Pinch of salt

---

🧁 Optional Glaze (for shine and extra orange flavor):

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1–2 tbsp fresh orange juice

---

🔄 Instructions:

1. Prep the orange:

   • If using a thin-skinned orange, wash and quarter it — removing seeds but keeping the peel.

   • If the peel is thick or bitter, remove most of it and just use the zest and pulp.

2. Blend it:

   • In a blender, add the orange, eggs, sugar, and oil. Blend until smooth (about 1 minute).

3. Add dry ingredients:

   • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Pulse just until combined — don’t overmix.

4. Bake:

   • Pour into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan or loaf pan.

   • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

5. Cool and glaze:

   • Let cool for 10–15 minutes. For a glaze, mix powdered sugar with orange juice and drizzle over the warm or cooled cake.
