Description

This Glazed Orange Cake is a quick and easy dessert that delivers the classic flavor of a bakery-style bundt cake without the wait. Made entirely in the microwave, it features a tender crumb infused with bright orange juice and topped with a sweet, tangy glaze. The use of egg whites creates a remarkably light and airy texture, while the orange zest and juice provide a refreshing citrus punch. Its perfect for weeknight treats, unexpected guests, or a simple afternoon pick-me-up. Despite the speed of preparation, the result is a moist, flavorful cake that feels indulgent and homemade. Serve it warm or chilled for the best texture.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In the small bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy.
  2. Gradually beat in the 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, continuing to beat until stiff and glossy peaks form. Set meringue aside.
  3. In a large, heat-resistant, non-metallic bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, oil, and half of the orange juice.
  4. Beat the mixture for 1 minute at high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl constantly.
  5. Add the remaining orange juice and egg yolks to the batter.
  6. Beat for an additional 1 minute at high speed, scraping the sides of the bowl constantly.
  7. Gently fold the prepared meringue into the batter until just combined.
  8. Place a microwave-safe glass right-side-up in the center of the batter to create a tube shape (bundt style).
  9. Cover the top of the batter with wax paper to prevent splattering.
  10. Microwave on high for 10 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the batter around the glass no longer looks doughy.
  11. Carefully remove the glass by twisting it slightly.
  12. Microwave the cake for an additional 1 1/2 minutes to finish cooking the center.
  13. Let the cake cool in the bowl for 30 minutes.
  14. Invert the cake onto a serving plate.
  15. Spread the top and sides of the cake with Orange Glaze.
  16. Chill the cake in the refrigerator to allow the glaze to set before serving.
