Eggless orange cake recipe

Jump to Recipe

Eggless orange cake with condensed milk, fresh orange juice as main ingredients. Orange zest adds natural flavour to the cake.

I have baked this cake a year before and this is the second time I am baking this. This was my first ever cake bake, thanks to Prathiba(prathy) who motivated me in baking…My first bake itself was a success and I was very happy about that and gave me a lot of confidence in baking… Very simple and easy bake,do try comes out soft and flavourful ! Check out my honey cake recipe

This time I replaced the butter with oil and baked in very small quantity. My kiddo was very excited while baking the cake,as he loves orange flavour ‘anything’😊. And when he tasted he also said,the cake was delicious! What else I need more than that…😎.This time to look pretty in the pictures,I tried decorating with the ready-made icing I bought,came out pretty,but the taste was not so pleasing🤢…After clicking I just wiped out that icing .Next time I will try on my own…🧐You can find the recipe I referred,

Author Raks Anand

Servings 4

Cup measurements

Ingredients

1 & ¼ cup All purpose flour/ Maida
1 cup minus 2 tablespoon Condensed milk
½ cup Butter or Oil I used sunflower oil
½ cup Orange juice
3 tablespoon Powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Baking powder
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ teaspoon Orange zest
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence

Instructions

Pre heat the oven to 1800 C. Sieve flour,baking powder,baking soda two times to ensure even mixing.
Mix well the condensed milk,orange juice,oil(or softened butter),sugar,vanilla essence,lemon juice with a whisk. Look who is helping me …
Take the sieved flour in a bowl and make a dent,pour the mixed liquid in the dent and mix well without any lumps,using the whisk.
Grate some orange peel in the batter and give it a mix.(orange zest)
Grease a baking pan,with butter and dust with some flour. Pour the prepared batter in the pan. Tap the pan gently once or twice to remove any big air bubbles.
Bake it to 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let it cool down for 5 minutes and then invert the cake over an wire rack and let it cool.

Notes

I just halved the ingredients and baked,as we are the only two to eat the cake 😉
30 minutes of bake is only approximated time,so lessen or bake for more time according to your oven settings.

Hi Raji this is the third recipe trying out from ur blog. thank you
baked it yesterday.
but somehow, the top of my cake did nt turn as brown like urs.
what could be the reason,.. I bake in MW convection mode.
also I ran short of orange juice so I added orange flavoured tang to it.

RAKS KITCHEN
August 23, 2011 at 11:37 am

Hi Mitha,
When you add tang instead of orange juice, did you made juice out of it and added or just added the powder? I too bake in MW convection mode, so I am not sure what could be the reason. But few things to keep in mind :Make sure you donot open the oven in between the baking time and also make sure you preheated the oven to the told temperature... Hope it helps when you bake next time..
Reply
Mitha
August 25, 2011 at 1:23 pm

Hi Raji
I added less than one half cup of orange juice and the rest of the cup added tang (in juice form).
and I did nt open the door in between. I just opened it only 5 minutes before the prescribed time.
that too just for the covering it with a butter paper.
by the way I preheated my oven for 10 minutes
is that fine or do i have to preheat for longer time ?
Reply
RAKS KITCHEN
August 25, 2011 at 1:29 pm

Mitha, for preheating the oven for baking any cake, say if the cake needs to be baked at 180degree in this case, you need to set 180 degrees and start the oven, you will be seeing a "P" sign in the display. You need to wait until the oven reaches that 180degrees. You will know this because the oven will beep when it finishes (attains the temperature).In my oven this is the case and the "P" sign starts blinking after this. I am not sure what is the procedure for your model. You may refer your oven manual for the preheating process. Do write to me if you have any further doubts regarding this...

Hi,
I tried this recipe of urs yesterday.. After the prescribed time, when i took the cake out, it broke (however u call) in the middle. cake was super soft like how a sponge cake from a nearby bakery shop would be. Tasted Yummm!!
Will it be due to uneven batter or do u reckon any thing? I used butter instead of oil and followed the recipe pucca.
Thanks for the recipe.. Tasted yumm.. Loved it to the core.
