About Orange sponge cake

Orange sponge cake is a light and airy dessert believed to have European origins, widely embraced in cuisines around the world. Made with basic ingredients such as flour, eggs, sugar, and freshly squeezed orange juice or zest, its delicate texture is enhanced by the citrusy brightness of the oranges. This cake is often enjoyed plain or with a light glaze, making it a versatile option for snacking or festive occasions. Nutritionally, it provides a small dose of Vitamin C from the orange, but it is also high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, which should be consumed in moderation. While its low fat content compared to richer cakes may appeal to some, portion control is key as it lacks substantial fiber or protein. Perfect for those who crave a lightly sweet treat, Orange sponge cake is a delightful yet indulgent addition to any dessert spread.
