The recipe for the soft orange loaf cake is really quick.
I made it with my Bimby kitchen robot, just like the soft Bimby loaf cake with chocolate chips. If you don’t have this robot, no problem: you can easily make it with electric whisks.
This loaf cake is amazing, super fragrant and irresistible: it’s impossible not to taste a slice right away. Perfect for breakfast and delicious as an afternoon snack, you can serve it simply with a dusting of powdered sugar or make it even more inviting with an orange glaze.
Well, let’s go discover this easy and very fragrant recipe.
See you soon, Susy!

You will need
- Kitchen Robot Bimby
- Loaf Cake Pan
I put the sugar and orange zest in the mixer and blend for 10 seconds at speed 7. I open the lid and scrape down the sides with a spatula.
I add the flour, potato starch, eggs, oil, orange juice, milk, and baking powder. I run the Bimby for 30 seconds at speed 7 until I get a smooth and fragrant batter.
I pour the batter into the greased and floured loaf cake pan, or greased with homemade pan release. I bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes. I always do the toothpick test before taking it out of the oven.In a bowl, I beat the eggs with sugar and grated orange zest until I get a light and frothy mixture.
I add the oil, orange juice, and milk, continuing to work at medium speed. I incorporate the flour, potato starch, and baking powder and gently fold with a spatula to avoid deflating the batter.
I pour into the greased and floured loaf cake pan and bake in a static oven at 350°F for about 40 minutes. I let it cool completely before removing from the pan.In a bowl, I put the powdered sugar and orange juice. I mix with a whisk until I get a smooth, lump-free glaze. If it is too runny, I add a little more powdered sugar.
I drizzle the glaze over the cold loaf cake and let it sit for at least an hour before serving.
Storage and Useful Tips
The soft orange loaf cake keeps under a cake dome for up to 4 days, maintaining its fragrance and softness.
For a lighter effect, you can serve it without glaze, simply with a dusting of powdered sugar.
If you want a more intense taste, you can add some dark chocolate chips to the batter or glaze it with melted chocolate.
For a lactose-free version, use lactose-free milk or a neutral vegetable drink.
