A healthier version of orange cake in the airfryer

If you’d like a healthier version of this cake, that’s absolutely possible.

I recommend this lovely Earl Grey tea with our fluffy orange cake

An orange cake, with its fresh, aromatic citrus tang, calls for something that can mirror and lift those same notes in your cup. Earl Grey tea is made from black tea with bergamot peel – a citrus fruit that shares many of the same aromas as orange – and it creates a completely natural and harmonious combination. I always enjoy a slice of this cake with a steaming cup of tea, and I can warmly recommend FairTea Earl Grey Blue Flower tea bags – a well-rounded, aromatic tea with subtle floral notes that round off the cake experience in an unexpected and lovely way.

• Wholemeal flour Replaces regular white flour to give the cake fibre and nourishment.
• Cane sugar or coconut sugar Comes into play instead of refined white sugar. It adds a lovely caramel-like depth to the cake’s sweetness.
• Oil Here I go for a good olive oil or coconut oil, which contributes healthy fatty acids.
• And of course, the unsung hero – the orange. Not only does it give the cake a wonderful aroma and moisture, but it’s also a vitamin C bomb.
