I’ve been making my Mum’s Orange Cake recipe for years, so it only seemed practical to convert it for my Thermomix! This Thermomix Orange Cake is really easy to make, is incredibly light and fluffy and is also freezer friendly – even when iced!

This recipe is very similar to a butter cake just with some orange zest and fresh orange juice added. You can also make a simple orange icing to decorate it with or stick to a plain icing decorated with a little coconut if you prefer.

I love making this Orange Cake as it reminds me of my Mum and as an added bonus, everyone in our house loves it too. If there are any leftovers, I will slice the cake into individual pieces, wrap and store in the freezer for an easy morning or afternoon snack for us or when guests pop over.

I usually cook this Orange Cake in a large loaf tin, however you can also use a small ring tin or round tin if you prefer, just remember your cooking times will vary. There is no need to worry if you don’t own a Thermomix, you can find the conventional instructions on how to make this easy Orange Cake here.
