Sicilian Whole Orange Cake Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the whole orange (with peel), eggs, sugar substitute, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the orange mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Glaze: Mix powdered sugar substitute with fresh orange juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake and sprinkle with orange zest before serving.
