Healthy Cake With Orange Sauce
I absolutely love sweet oranges. So I wanted to use up some sweet oranges and make an orange sauce cake. Especially if your oranges are sweet, you'll make a wonderful cake. When this sauce meets the cake, you get a soft and fluffy orange sauce cake. Plus, it's not too difficult to make. The orange sauce takes 10 minutes to cook, and the cake takes 20 minutes to bake. If you have to get up early for work, you can prepare the cake the night before and keep it in a box in the refrigerator until morning. I get up early in the mornings and make this cake in time for coffee. Sometimes I make it during the day too when I crave something sweet.
Why I Recommend Orange Sauce Fit Cake, What Are Its Ingredients?
What makes this cake more delicious than others is the light texture that oats give it. And the oats and orange sauce really complement each other perfectly. It meets your energy needs before or after exercise. It's also a great recipe for those following a sugar-free and gluten-free diet. It's a vitamin-rich cake for those who don't like eating oranges plain but want to benefit from their vitamins. I say vitamin-rich because the recipe includes not only oranges but also apples. I recommend making this vitamin-rich cake where fruits come together. If you love fruit and want to meet your vitamin needs, I want to talk about the benefits of the fruits in my wonderful recipe.

Things to keep in mind
To prevent vitamin loss while cooking orange sauce:
You can add the orange juice to the sauce at the very last stage of cooking. You can add it after turning off the heat, allowing it to mix only with the sauce's own heat.
How to Make a Healthy Cake with Orange Sauce
1. First, whisk the eggs and milk together. If you have a food processor, process all ingredients except the oats together. If you don't have a food processor, continue.
2. After mixing the eggs and milk well, grate the apple nicely and mash it with a fork.
3. Add the apple puree, milk, baking powder, and grated orange peel to the egg and milk mixture. Mix well with a whisk.
4. Next, add the oats and raisins. Stir gently. Pour the sauce into the baking pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. If you want to sprinkle raisins on top of the cake, add them towards the end of baking so they don't burn.
5. While the cake is baking, let's prepare the sauce. Add milk and rice flour to the pan we will be using to cook the sauce, mix well, and cook.
6. Once the sauce is cooked, turn off the heat and add the orange juice. If you're adding honey, you can add it while adding the orange sauce. Mix the sauce well with the orange juice, and the sauce is ready.
7. Let the sauce and cake cool for 10 minutes. Then pour the sauce over the cake. I sprinkled raisins on top of the cake, but you can sprinkle other dried fruits or walnuts/almonds that you like.
How should we serve the cake?
Other dried fruits you like: Dried apricots, dried figs, etc.
Fresh fruit options: Bananas, grapes, figs, apple slices, etc.
Toppings: Coconut powder, flax seeds, chopped almonds and walnuts, etc.
