Hello everyone! Every baker has to have a classic Orange Loaf Cake recipe. Today I’m sharing my favorite one! As you might already know, I go for simple easy recipes and this one is not different. Super easy to make with ingredients you already have!
Cake recipes used to intimidate me. Few years back, I didn’t understand how a cake should be made or how much you have to put of each ingredient, or how much you should beat the eggs…. ALL THIS. But now finally I can say that I’m good with cakes and I enjoy baking cakes more than anything else because it’s like magic (well it’s science but who cares!).
This orange loaf cake recipe is one of my favorites because I love orange cakes (who doesn’t?) and it’s super fluffy and moist! A must try if you love classic easy cakes.
