Orange Sunkist Cake

April 28, 2014 by Valerie Lugonja 10 Comments

The famous 30-second Thermomix Cake!

Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake

Once upon a time, at least 7 years ago, when I first purchased my favourite kitchen machine, I learned how to make this cake. I learned how to make so many things that I actually forgot all about this incredible recipe. I have not made it for 7 years. That is about to change.

Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake

A large loaf pan is a bit too small for the batter, so next time, I will make 2 smaller loaves. This is an ultra-moist, deeply flavourful, intently moist cake with a lovely fine crumb and absolutely effortless to make. (If you know a better word than absolutely, please share it with me in the comments at the bottom. I detest the word, yet use it all of the time.)

Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake

Mom was coming to a Sunday dinner a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t have any dessert. What to make? I went into my old files and found this recipe and in 30 minutes, there it was! It will be delicious in cup cakes and in a two-layered round 8 inch birthday cake format as well as the medium loaf pans. The unbelievable ingredient in this cake is one whole orange. Yup. The entire big juicy succulent citrus globe, skin and all.

1 Greased and Floured Loaf Pan

Butter and flour your pan for easy release. Prepare your mis en place.

2 Oranges and Butter in Thermomix Bowl

Wash and quarter the orange and scale the butter into the TM bowl.

Seconds later, voilà!

5 Orange Sunkist Cake Ingredients

Add remaining ingredients to combine, and look at this gorgeous batter!

6 Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake Batter 7 Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake in Loaf Pan

I knew I might be in trouble when the batter filled the pan. Two thirds to three-quarters full is the most batter for any pan. This batter expands considerably and a pan filled two thirds full with this batter would be perfect.

8 Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake Baked

It did sink in the middle a little, but not significantly.

9 Thermomix Orange Sunkist Cake Iced

I over beat the icing and ended up with a thick glaze. Don’t do that. It was still lovely, but it would be better whipped.

10 Orange Sunkist Cake

The little saucy lipped flair at the bottom of the loaf is due to over-filling the pan.

Garnishing with extra zest adds interest, colour and another pop of flavour. Even Vanja enjoyed his slice and he is not a cake man.

Anyone else ever make Orange Cake anymore? It used to be Grandma Maude’s favourite.

    Valerie, orange cake has to be one of my all time favourites, especially with orange icing. Orange chiffon cake, orange loaf (just substitute an orange for the lemon in your lemon loaf recipe), cranberry orange quick bread, dark chocolate orange cheesecake and now this one, which I’m sure I can figure out how to make without your magical machine.

      Haha!
      You are funny, Brendi!
      Orange cake is a love it or leave it kind of thing for some people. I am definitely not an orange chocolate kind of gal. I always provide instructions for how to make the recipe if it can be made without the Thermomix… so let me know how it goes!
      🙂

    I have the magical machine too, and I am going to make it in the next few days.
    I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks Valerie.

    This recipe sounds delicious. I don’t own a thermomix so l’m wondering if l can just do everything in a food processor, or should l be creaming the butter with the sugar as in a normal recipe. Obviously l would grind the orange in a food processor.
    I came across a similar recipe which calls for melting the butter and then adding it. I know that these could all result in different results, and l love the look of yours.
    Keep up the great work you do on your website. I love your recipes and reading your stories.

      Hi Branka!
      So lovely to “meet” you! You could certainly try, but one of the reasons I posted this recipe so long ago is that is takes second in the Thermomix and is so moist, gorgeous and delicious. I am pretty confident that it will be very difficult to get the results with any other device – but, if you are motivated, give it a go and let me know how it turns out for you!
      Hugs and Dobra Dan!
      Valerie

    Would love to make this but won’t take the time to deal with conversions for American metrics. I don’t even know what “scaling” means and can’t find it as a baking term.

      Hi Lydia
      I have now added the US measurements into the recipe for you – and “scaling” refers to “weighing” the ingredients in the Thermomix machine – didn’t have time to write the entire recipe over right now – it’s an oldie bit a goodie.
      Let me know if this helps and if you make and enjoy it! We love it.
      🙂
