Gaby's Bakery - Super Easy Orange Loaf Cake

Gaby's Bakery - Super Easy Orange Loaf Cake

This juicy orange cake is soft, tender and deeply fragrant, with a bright citrus flavour that tastes fresh rather than sugary. The crumb is light and moist all the way through, thanks to lots of real orange zest and juice. When you cut into it, it almost glistens.

Super Easy Orange Loaf Cake

Ingredients:
For the cake:
200g plain flour (sifted)
150g sugar
70ml vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 tsp baking powder
1 large orange (or 1.5 small oranges)
Pinch of salt

For the syrup:
Juice of 1 large orange
20g sugar

For the frosting:
140g cream cheese
30g icing sugar
Zest of an orange (optional)

Method:
Preheat oven to 160c. Line a loaf tin with a parchment paper liner.

Cut the orange, with skin on, into small pieces. Place this in a food blender with the sugar, eggs and oil.  Blend until you have a smooth batter. Place this in a large bowl, then sift the flour and baking powder in. Add the salt and mix until everything is just combined. Pour this into the prepared tin and bake for appx 50-55mins until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Once ready take out the oven and leave in the tin.

For the syrup, heat the orange juice and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pierce all over the top of the cake with a toothpick and then pour the syrup over, allowing it to absorb into the cake. Leave the cake to fully cool.

For the frosting, mix the cream cheese and icing sugar together and then spread over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the top with orange zest.

Enjoy

For a long time, the ‘Butterfly’ haircut reigned as the most requested style. But in 2025 and the early months of 2026, ‘Bobs’ took over, and we loved seeing Lily Collins, Ji-young Yoo and Kathy Bates embrace different versions of the trend. From French bobs to blunt cuts and box bobs, each of them wore the style beautifully.

Myths & Misunderstandings - Can I over-protein my hair?

June 11, 2026

 

Healthy hair is essentially 97% protein and 3% water. The protein provides the structural strength, the water gives flexibility and shine. Hair cannot be overloaded with protein but it can become so dehydrated with heat styling, colouring, and siliconised hair products that you end up losing the 3% water of fresh root hair, and then what is left of the shrunken hair towards the ends is 100% protein and too porous to hold moisture.
