A delightful blood orange loaf cake with a moist light texture, mouthwatering freshness and an irresistible burst of citrus flavour.

Blood Orange Spelt Loaf Cake

- inspired by Taste of Home
  • 190 g Spelt pastry flour
  • 80 g Light brown sugar
  • 40 g White sugar
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 120 ml Corn oil
  • 250 ml Freshly squeezed blood orange juice
  • Zest of one orange
  • 2 Large egg whites
  • Orange caramel sauce to serve, optional
  • Powdered sugar to serve, optional
  1. Line a 30x11x7 cm loaf pan with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt pastry flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt. Add in corn oil, blood orange juice and the zest. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
  3. In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold into blood orange-oil mixture in 2-3 additions until blended and smooth.
  4. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.

    This cake does look amazing, I am inspired to try spelt flour. There are so many flour variations out there and they all impart something unique to a baked good. The texture of this cake is that moist tight crumb that I love so much. Also, the drizzle is something that would be a requirement-yum! Great post!

    Angie, I'm really into loaf cakes lately, for some reason. And this one looks great! AND I just happen to have some spelt in my freezer. I know, because just yesterday I decided to sort through all my various gluten-free baking products to see what needed using up. Can't wait to try it!

    Angie that looks amazingly light and fluffy! I'm not the best at baking but often do loaf cakes because they are usually a mix all in bowl kinda recipe. The cakes come out dense (still delicious and moist) but would love to be able to make this kind of fluffy light cakes soon. Love that you use spelt flour (you already know I always rave about this grain!). x
