Whole Orange Blender Cake

This whole orange blender cake is a pretty domed loaf, nicely sweet with big orange flavor, and even a tantalizing hint of delightful bitterness. It's also nice to have only the blender jar to wash when you're done!

Ingredients

  • 1 navel orange or other thin-skinned orange, at room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice or milk

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Coat an 8x4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper.
  • Wash the orange and blot dry with paper towels. Cut in 8ths, removing any seeds.
  • Combine orange pieces, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and pulse just until combined and batter is smooth.
  • Add batter to prepared pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.
