My cookbook is here! 
This Whole Orange Blender Cake is a unique way to make a flavorful and moist healthy dessert that smells and tastes INCREDIBLE.
I’m obsessed with the smell and flavor of this cake it does give off Vasilopita cake vibes but I was so thrilled when the oats and maple syrup worked in this recipe to make it healthier for you. The smell though is INSANE!
You can use regular all purpose flour here or gluten free flour instead of the oats. You can also use granular sugar instead of the maple syrup. The flavor will all taste amazing and you will have guests going for seconds for sure. There is absolutely no bitterness from the orange peel whatsoever!
The beauty of the recipe is that any fruit can be subbed in like a large lemon, 2 limes or a pear. I cannot wait to try more flavor for this simple to make recipe. My only recommendation is to stick to ORGANIC fruits since your are using and eating the peels.

How about 2 eggs and 1/4 cup maple syrup?What else do I need to do to make suggested changes work? Otherwise. I can’t wait to try it.
Easy and delicious!!! 😋
This was the easiest cake I’ve ever made and it was delicious! I don’t own a stand mixer so I really appreciated adding everything to the processor, pouring the batter into the pan and putting it in the oven. Great scent and taste!
