What Is a Whole Orange Blender Cake?

A whole orange blender cake uses the entire orange, including the peel, blended directly into the batter. This method intensifies the citrus flavor while keeping the cake moist and tender. Because everything is blended together, there is no need for flour, bowls, or mixers, making it one of the easiest homemade cakes you can bake.
