Delicious Melt-in-Your-Mouth Orange Oat Cake

This orange oat cake is not only delicious but also healthy and light. It melts in your mouth and is incredibly moist—you’re going to love it. Let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients for this orange oat cake:

• 2 Navel oranges;
• 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats;
• 1 teaspoon baking powder;
• 2 tablespoons demerara sugar (or brown sugar);
• 1 egg;
• 1/2 cup milk;
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil;
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

How to make this orange oat cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) before you begin.
2. Grease a cake pan with butter or line the bottom with parchment paper.
3. Wash the oranges thoroughly. Cut them into small pieces, removing all seeds and the thick white pith to prevent bitterness.
4. Place the orange pieces in a blender and blend until you get a smooth purée.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, and demerara sugar.
6. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and stir in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
7. Mix the liquid ingredients well.
8. Add the orange purée to the wet ingredients and mix well.
9. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients (oats, baking powder, and sugar) and fold gently until everything is well combined.
10. Be careful not to overmix, so the cake remains light and moist.
11. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
13. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before unmolding.
14. Once cooled, slice and serve.
15. Enjoy as is, or top it with your favorite icing.
16. Enjoy your treat!

Pro-tip:

Add some fresh orange zest on top for an extra burst of citrus flavor and a beautiful, aromatic finish.

Oats are an excellent source of soluble fiber, specifically beta-glucan. This type of fiber forms a gel-like consistency in the digestive tract, which helps slow the absorption of cholesterol and sugar into your bloodstream.
