Sick And Tired Of Doing Orange Cake Eggless Recipe The Old Way? Read This!

Egg-less Orange Cake is very soft and moist with the flavor of Orange. I have a keen interest for baking and trying new baking tips and ideas. I got this recipe from my mother. I have replaced butter with vegetable oil. There is no need to add any food color as the color of cake will turn out yellow. This is a very easy version of  Orange Cake which doesn’t require much effort and can be made with easily available ingredients in just 30-35 mins. It can also be tried with Pressure Cooker.

Let’s get started..

 Ingredients

• 1 and ¾ cup maida (all purpose flour)
• 1 tsp baking soda
•  2 tsp baking powder 
• 1 and ¼ cup curd / yogurt
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• Grated rind of 1/2 orange
• 3 tbsp orange juice 
• ¼ cup vegetable oil (or) canola oil (or) olive oil 

How to prepare Orange cake

• Take curd in a mixing bowl and to it add powdered sugar and beat it using hand blender or whisk. 
• Add orange zest, orange juice and vegetable oil. Blend it again. Keep it aside.
•      Sieve maida or all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add this dry mixture to wet mixture and mix everything well.
•      Preheat oven to 180 degree C for 10 mins. Take a greased cake tin. Fill it with cake batter. Keep the pan in oven and bake at 180 degrees C for 30-35 mins. 
• Check the cake by inserting a toothpick at the center. It should come out clean.
• Remove the tin from the oven. Let it rest for 2 mins. 
• Transfer the cake carefully to the cooling rack and let it cool down completely.  
• Slice the cake and serve.

Pressure Cooker Version.

•       Keep a heat proof stand or rack within the cooker.
• Place the cake pan within the cooker.
• Secure the lid firmly and tightly on the cooker. Do remember to get rid of the vent weight (whistle).
• Bake cake on a coffee flame or sim, till the cake turns golden (I used a 5 litre Pressure Cooker).
• Consider a mean time of 35 minutes to 50 minutes, counting on the dimensions of the cooker, the dimensions & quality of the cake pan and therefore the intensity of the flame. you'll check the cake while its baking, by removing the lid.
• The top should be golden and once you insert a tooth pick within the center of the cooker cake, it should begin clean or with a couple of cake crumbs, with no sticky batter there on .
• Let the cake cool down at temperature .
• Then remove the cake gently from the mould. Serve cooker cake warm or at temperature .
