The orange gives this classic honey cake a sophisticated twist, taking honey cake to a whole new level.
Check out our complete collection of Rosh Hashanah recipes for mains, sides, soups, desserts, and more inspiration for the holiday.
1 whole seedless orange, cut in chunks (do not peel)
6 eggs
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1 and 1/2 cups Gefen Honey
3 cups flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons Gefen Baking Soda
3/4 cup strong coffee (or 1 and 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee dissolved in 3/4 cup boiling water)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a kugelhopf pan (turban-shaped tube pan) very well.
Place orange in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse with quick on/offs until finely minced. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat eggs with sugar until light, about three to four minutes. Add remaining ingredients except for orange and mix until combined. Add orange to batter and mix until combined.
Pour batter into greased kugelhopf pan, leaving about three inches for cake to expand during baking.
Bake for one hour and five minutes. (When you insert a cake tester, it will come out without any batter clinging to it.) If there is any remaining batter, place it in a small baking pan and bake for 50 minutes.

This recipe sounds like an interesting technique… only problem is that orange peels present a few problems kashrus-wise:
1. The wax that coats most oranges in America are do not necessarily contain exclusively plant-based ingredients and can be problematic (if they use animal/bug derivatives)
2. There can also be scales (an itty-bitty insect) living on the oranges (a lot more of a problem in EY as they tend not to wax their oranges in the same way the do in the US), which would, of course, render them problematic as well.
I highly recommend speaking to a bug expert in your specific area before eating orange peels regardless of where you live.
