Tunisian Orange Cake (Gâteau Tunisien à l’Orange)

By /

This fragrant Tunisian orange cake, known locally as “Meskouta”, is made with fresh orange juice and zest, giving it an intensely fruity, moist crumb. Soaked in a delicate orange syrup and decorated with cinnamon and star anise, it is a beloved dessert across North Africa. Simple, aromatic, and utterly delicious.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 200 g caster sugar
  • 200 ml orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Zest of 2 oranges
  • 150 ml neutral vegetable oil
  • 250 g plain flour
  • 1 sachet of baking powder (11g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the orange syrup

  • 100 ml orange juice
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 star anise

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Grease and flour a round 22cm cake tin.
  2. Beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the oil, orange juice, zest, and vanilla.
  4. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Fold to combine.
  5. Pour into the tin and bake for 35-40 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  6. Make the syrup: combine all ingredients in a small pan, bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, then cool slightly.
  7. When the cake comes out of the oven, immediately pour the syrup over the top. Leave to soak for 15 minutes before serving.
  8. Decorate with a cinnamon stick, star anise, and orange slices.

🍊 Sahtein! This cake keeps beautifully moist for several days.
