I have a tip for zesting. I take my potato peeler and peel the orange trying not to get the white part. I put the strips into my blender and add the amount of sugar called for in the recipe. I blend it up and it works perfectly. It will not work if you do not add the sugar as orange will simply stick to the side of your blender container. I originally tried this when I did not have a zester, . Even though I now have a zester, I actually prefer this method. I find it much simpler for me.

Love how John explains the science behind everything he’s baking

"I could live in this cake" John cracks me up. Smart and funny delivery. 😅

I never really comment under these recipes, but this one was BOMB! As an Indian, I love my teacakes and this was the perfect recipe for those 4 pm hunger pangs! I even repeated this with cranberry juice and dried cranberries instead of the orange and it came out just as divine!

You have won me over - your methods are well reasoned, your sense of taste and balance yields crowd pleasing results… all this is true, but sincerely, I’m in love with your kitchen! What is that awesome stove on your set? And your island is rather more like a continent. I’m green with envy.

The explanations on WHY to do certain steps is one of the main reasons I love your channel so much!!! So many “aha moments!” 💕

I’ve always thought the room temp thing was a bit over the top, but hearing the very logical reason solves my problem of the result of not doing it….the middle taking too long to cook. In fact, I quit trying to cook anything in a loaf pan long ago for this reason. Now I’m back, thanks so much John for your no nonsense approach to cooking making it simple yet extremely informative.

I made one change to the recipe, I added 200 ml of melted butter and 40 ml of olive oil. And a tbsp of milk. The cake came out amazingly delicious 😍😍😍 it was mildly orange, mildly buttery. It’s good for those who don’t want the orange flavour too strong and don’t wanna risk messing with the recipe

This recipe saved me . Had guests last night, one of them is lactose intolerant and is not easy to find a recipe without butter or yogurt so this one was a bomb . Felt so proud and my guests loved it . Greetings from Istanbul 🙏

This loaf looks delicious & your video was loaded with great info: from no citrus on marble to making citrus sugars to heighten the flavour!

I made this orange bread twice and I absolutely love it. Infusing the sugar by rubbing in the orange zest is super smart. The glaze is very important to the overall taste so I make it a little thick so it doesn't run down too much. I love this recipe.

i actually learned something new, the mixing of the peel with the sugar is spot on . great stuff.

when I was a little girl, my mother would bake my favorite orange cake every year on my birthday. It was a regular layer cake and soooo good but now I want to try this cake because a large layer cake would be too much for just me and your recipe looks

[lisarodgers]

I can't cook, but I've made this orange cake twice now, and its been perfect each time. My husband eats it every morning with his coffee. Thanks John! Oh, and I've ordered your cook book as well. Cheers, Lisa.

In 2014, I did a bake sale in aid of the Samaritans, following my boyfriends death from suicide on NYD the same year. Someone put in a request for an orange had never made one before! Anyhow, I made it, and was pretty much to the recipe you show here. They gave me £100 for it!! I spent 3 days solid baking, 1 day decorating, and my 50th birthday selling the raised just under was exhausted! lol xx

AMAZING!!!! if you have any doubt, please make this beautiful cake and enjoy it. i have a small coffeeshop and our customers loved it! it smells like heaven🍊

[sarha]

John, I love this recipe!!!
I get so many compliments regarding your banana bread recipe, waffles, pancakes, lemon loaf. You’re my favourite baker ever!

Just wanted to say I made this last week after watching this video. I had a few tired looking oranges that needed using up. I wasnt hopeful with the cake batter it seemed thin compared to a normal batter . It cooked for an hour but could have done with a bit less as my oven is fast . I even made the glaze to go on top . WOW i was so surprised how moist the cake was ! I usually use butter not oil in my cakes so I was concerned about the taste. I will be making again very soon . Thank you so much for this recipe.
