Orange cake is a rustic and simple snack, but it was honored in the top 30 best fried foods in the world by CNN Travel.

Origin of orange cake

Despite the name “orange cake”, this cake has no flavor or ingredients made from oranges. The cake is called orange cake because of the shape of a ripe orange. In the North and Central region, this dish is often called donut.

Depending on the region, the cake is made with different sizes, the sesame crust is replaced with a thick layer of sugar. In addition to the salty mung bean filling, the cake is also transformed into a savory cake with fillings made from pork, vermicelli, carrots, etc.
