This recipe is from my friend Mariam. I liked it so much that I adapted it for the Lidl bread maker so I could make it more often. The interesting thing about this recipe is that you use the whole orange, peel and all! It turns out delicious.

Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

Scrub the oranges thoroughly with a brush under water to clean the peel. Cut them into pieces and place them in the mixing bowl.
2

Add the olive oil, sugar (use less if you prefer it less sweet), and eggs. Blend everything with a hand blender until the mixture is smooth, but don’t over-blend—leave some small bits of orange.
3

Add the flour, baking powder (or double-acting baking powder), and a pinch of salt. I prefer double-acting baking powder because it makes the cake fluffier. I usually use one packet for each egg in the recipe.
4

Blend again until everything is well combined.
5

Pour the batter into the bread maker pan (remove the kneading paddles first). Select the "Bake" program (on my machine, this is program 15, which lasts 1 hour). Before baking, sprinkle a little sugar and some walnuts on top for decoration.
6

When the program finishes, let the cake cool a bit with the lid closed, as it tends to sink slightly in the center. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!
