Ingredients
Maida / All purpose flour – 1.5 Cup
Sugar – 3/4 to 1 Cup
Corn Flour – 1 tbsp
Baking Soda – 1 tsp
Baking Powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 1 Pinch
Orange Juice – 1 Cup
Oil – 1/3 Cup
Orange Essence – 2 to 3 Drops
Orange Zest – 1 tsp
Method
1. First measure and keep all the ingredients ready.
2 . To a sieve, add maida, corn flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1 pinch of salt and sift everything well to avoid lumps. Keep by side.
3. To a mixing bowl add sugar and oil. Whisk it well, till the sugar granules dissolves completely.
4. Now pour the orange juice and add the sieved dry ingredients slowly.
5. Then add orange zest and essence. Whisk it gently, till smooth and soft. Fold it slowly as over beating turns the cake hard. The batter should be in pouring consistency not watery. By the time pre-heat the oven to 180c for 15 minutes.
6 . Brush a baking tray with oil and dust little flour all over. Select a suitable size tray as the cake doubles in size. Now pour the cake batter to the tray, then shake a little, so that the air bubble release. Place the tray in the oven and bake it for 30 to 35 minutes or a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Once it cools down, run a knife through the sides and gently tap to remove the cake. If need can dust some powdered sugar and orange zest for decoration.
Note:
-----
* For healthy version, maida can be replaced with atta, but the cake will be little dense.
* Equal quantity of maida and atta can also be used for this eggless orange cake.
* Corn flour can be replaced with custard powder also.
* Don’t over bake the cake, else it turns hard. After 25 minutes pls check the cake.
* Always choose the correct size baking tray, otherwise the cake overflows when baking itself. To avoid this fill only 1/2 or 3/4 of the tray with the batter.
