Craving cake but think it’s too hot for chocolate this summer? No need to choose – there is a sweet solution!

While some might say there are a ton of summery mousses and creams one could prepare, sometimes all you want for dessert is cake, right? But with the latest heat wave I have to admit I was not very eager to transform my flat into a sauna, reason why I delayed the baking for a while. It took two entire days of strategic airing to get the heat out of the flat. Why thus get it back in by turning the oven to 180°? 

But here we are, both craving cake! And this orange soft cake is definitely a summer cake. The low amount of flour makes it very moist and juicy and you basically feel like devouring a freshly squeezed orange in cake form. You don’t even need icing or a syrup glaze because the crust caramelises just enough to give it a little extra goodness.

I really love this cake and bet you’ll do to. But be prepared: you’ll really need to restrain yourself from eating the whole cake all at once.

  • Pour the cake batter into the cake mold and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Check with a skewer if the cake is done. The cake is done when the skewer comes out clean.
