Description

This Glazed Orange Cake is a quick and satisfying dessert that delivers intense citrus flavor with minimal effort. Made entirely in the microwave, this cake features a tender crumb infused with fresh orange juice and topped with a glossy, sweet meringue glaze. It is perfect for weeknight treats or when you need a sweet fix without heating up the oven. The combination of egg whites whipped into a light foam and simple pantry staples creates a texture that is both airy and moist. Serve it chilled for a refreshing finish that highlights the vibrant orange notes. It pairs beautifully with coffee or tea, making it an ideal companion for afternoon gatherings or a solitary indulgence.

Ingredients

Directions

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