In the frame today is an ‘eggless wholewheat orange cake’ made from freshly squeezed #orangejuice. Sounds good, eh? Tastes even better.. Try it to know what I mean 😉
This cake turns out very soft without any egg, milk or curd and its very easy to make as well. absolutely #nofuss .. Check the recipe and a few tips below.
Ingredients:
1 Cup Wholewheat flour
1/2 Tsp Baking powder
1/2 Tsp Baking soda
A pinch of salt
1/3 Cup Sugar (powder it in a mixer)
1 cup fresh orange juice
Orange zest from 2 or 3 oranges
1/4 Cup oil
Method:
In a mixing bowl, take powdered sugar and oil. Mix it well using a whisker. Add orange juice to it, whisk again nicely. Add orange zest, give it a mix. Now add sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until the batter is well combined. Make sure not to over mix or else you get a dense cake. Pour the batter in a greased baking pan (I used a 6″ round tin) and bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees for 35 minutes or till the toothpick comes out clean.
Tips:
All ovens are different so time and temperature may vary.
Orange zest is the outer peel of the orange (check video). Grate the orange or green part of peel using a fine grater. Make sure you don’t grate the white part of the oranges.
The more zest you add, the more the flavour of orange will be evident.
I used 3 oranges to get a cup of juice and used the peel of these oranges for the zest.

Hi Surya.. you can use zest of just two oranges instead of three.. I never measure the amount in spoons so I won’t be able to help you with that.. A few readers mentioned that they added 1 tsp of zest which worked well for them.

Hi
Zest of three whole oranges ? Little doubtful whether it will make the cake a bitter.
Can I skip it as am a beginner and little afraid.
