Moist Chocolate Orange Cake

This oil and buttermilk-based chocolate orange cake is deep, dark, and perfectly moist. It is wrapped in fluffy, delicious (rich and creamy) orange and chocolate frosting. 

The classic orange and chocolate mixture is perfectly balanced in this cake recipe; it’s just SO good – you’ll love it! It is beautifully flavored by the fresh orange zest and juice in the recipe. 

Blood Orange Cake

This almost-famous blood orange cake is moist and tender with a beautiful pink glaze made totally naturally with blood orange juice.

It has been super popular on social media for years, and everyone loves this easy, impressive-looking recipe.

Portuguese Orange Cake

Here is an orange cake recipe that is super moist and fluffy all at once, with the most alluring bright, fresh orange flavor.

The batter is made with very basic ingredients including the entire fresh orange – orange peels and all. Serve it with whipped cream (add vanilla and sift in a little powdered sugar) or a scoop of ice cream. 

Orange Pound Cake

My orange pound cake recipe uses orange juice and a handful of other ingredients you likely already have at home. Pull out a bundt pan if you have one. It is an orange bundt cake at heart with a pound cake texture. You could also bake the batter as loaves if you prefer to use a loaf pan. It should make 2-3 loaves.

I love that it gets topped with orange icing to take that orange flavor to the next level. 

Pumpkin Orange Muffins

Looking for an easy fall treat? My orange pumpkin muffins look and taste the part. Serve them warm to showcase their tender crumb (rather than at room temperature). 

Add an orange glaze and voila, dessert.

Orange Brownies

This crackly orange brownies recipe from Dishing with Delaney look seriously yummy, don’t you think? I love the combination of chocolate and orange.

Orange Bars

I am a Baker brings us these easy-going orange bars. They’re super easy to make and serve as a standalone treat.

Perfect in the summertime (or whenever) – you can serve them as a dessert or as a tea-time sweet snack.

Orange Tartlets

I love these easy orange tartlets from A Baking Journey’s blog.  The bases are made with a simple tart pastry and filled with orange curd. 

You could also buy pre-made tartlet bases and then make the curd!

Orange Tiramisu

I love this idea for blood orange tiramisu from Love and Olive Oil.

Traditional tiramisu is delicious but orange tiramisu is next level.

Make it the day before, as it’s best to set it overnight. 

Easy Orange Pannacotta

Try making Italy’s much-loved dessert – pannacotta. Serve it straight out of the jar you set it in. Thanks to The Endless Meal for this delicious and simple version.

Enjoy the delicious fresh mandarin flavor and orange blossom water in this creamy mix. 

Orange Posset

Citrus posset like lemon and orange posset have been viral all over TikTok and Instagram. This orange posset recipe from looks so pretty and totally yummy! 

This old English dessert is making a major comeback. Its silky, creamy texture is so comforting and satisfying. Pour it into pretty glasses or little orange rind bowls – it will be a hit!

Orange Truffles

How good do these orange and white chocolate creamsicle truffles from Fresh Water Peaches look?

They are made from orange puree and coconut milk and can be made a totally vegan bite.

Orange Yogurt Cake

I LOVE a good orange and yogurt cake – like this one from Vege Home Cook.  

The yogurt,as part of the cake batter, keeps the cake moist and gives it a wonderful flavor.

This particular recipe is perfect just as is or you can topped with with a frosting or glaze. It’s also yummy with whipped cream.

Orange Creamsicle French Toast

French Toast is not just for the morning. This stunning orange creamsicle baked french toast has a lot to offer as a dessert.

Crack a few large eggs and stir up an easy dessert with bread pudding vibes, but all dressed up.

Top with a spoonful of ice cream or whipped cream and everyone will swoon.

Orange Cupcakes + Orange Frosting

Want cupcakes that are full of fresh orange juice and pulp? This recipe from Courtney’s Sweets is the perfect way to use up extra oranges at home.

You could also decorate them with fresh orange slices just before you serve them. 

The combination of sweet, creamy, and slightly sour orange is delightful.

Gluten-Free Orange + Almond Cake (Flourless)

We all need a good gluten-free orange and almond cake recipe like this one from Bake Play Smile.

The process of cooking the oranges turns the flavor into a deep, rich orange taste. The cooked and blended orange fruit gives the cake wonderful body.

This cake is LOADED with flavor-put it on your “to-do” list.

Want to make orange cookies like this beautiful recipe from Girl Vs Dough?

This recipe has a melt-in-the-mouth quality and a LOUD orange flavor that is so delicious.

Serve your cookies with a scoop of ice cream for a full-on dessert bowl.

A no-bake orange cheesecake like this one from Grandbaby Cakes is a must.

Whip it up in 30 minutes, and chill it overnight for the perfect slice of dessert.
