Save this recipe – even from the recipes on my Instagram, because you’ll gladly come back to it.
Ingredients needed to bake orange cake with crumble topping
To make such a moist orange cake at home, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of products I used and possible substitutes.
- oranges – large oranges for juice will be best here, but any ripe orange will do. First, I recommend grating the zest (I do this on a fine vegetable grater), and then squeezing the juice. I added the zest from one orange and 120 ml of juice to the cake itself. If you get less juice, add milk to make up the difference. For the crumble, I added the zest from a second orange. If you don’t have fresh fruit, you can add regular orange juice to the cake and omit the zest.
- Greek yogurt – you can substitute it with thick natural yogurt or natural skyr.
- oil – I used rapeseed oil, but you can replace it with another neutral-tasting oil.
- butter – for the crumble, I used 82% extra butter; you can optionally replace it with a butter blend or vegetable butter.
How to store orange cake to keep it moist?
To keep your orange cake with crumble fresh and moist for as long as possible, I recommend transferring it to an airtight container with a lid, or covering it with an airtight cake dome. In such a container, the cake can last for several days, or even a week, at room temperature (there’s no need to put it in the fridge).
Can orange cake with crumble be frozen?
Yes, this cake is suitable for freezing. It’s a good idea to divide it into smaller portions beforehand, pack them separately, and then freeze. The cake can be frozen for about 3 months.
How many calories does orange cake with crumble have?
In the table just below the recipe, I provided the caloric value for 100 g of the cake (using the products I used). However, if you divide the cake into approximately 20 equal portions, each slice will have about 207 kcal (carbohydrates – 29 g, proteins – 3 g, fats – 9 g), so you can calmly and without guilt enjoy such a piece with your afternoon coffee ;)
I hope this moist orange cake will also find its way into your home. With this recipe, precisely described step-by-step, with preparation photos and a video, baking such a cake will be as easy as pie ;) If you try the recipe, I would be very happy if you share your comments under the recipe afterwards.
