In preparation for Christmas, I’ve been testing some recipes that I can quickly whip up to bring to holiday dinner parties, including this fool proof ORANGE LOAF CAKE that’s super easy and quick to make, and no mixer required!
I made this in collaboration with Spain’s leading oil brand La Espagnola. The light in colour oil is perfect for baking. It allows the cake to get an even texture (bye bye huge air pockets!) – not to mention it contains beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants that makes it a healthier choice. The result is a super moist sponge packed full of citrusy flavour!
SAVE and TRY this super easy recipe yourself and let me know how it turns out 🥰
