I wanted to bake a fruit based cake this time. Since I had lot of oranges at home, I decided to make an egg less orange cake.I made minor changes to the video found here.This is a quick and easy to make cake that is very delicious without the frosting. The cake has a nice orange flavor and while baking the whole house smelled heavenly! The recipe is more or less similar to my Eggless Vanilla Cupcake except I replaced milk with pure orange juice and added a tsp of orange zest. Today we will learn how to make eggless orange cake following this easy fool proof recipe.
How to make Eggless Orange Cake
Ingredients needed
All purpose flour/Maida - 1 1/4 cup
Baking powder -1/2 tsp
Baking soda -1/2 tsp
Butter (unsalted) -113 grams / 1/2 cup
Condensed milk - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 3 tbsp
Orange juice - 1/2 cup (I used fresh orange juice)
Vanilla essence or orange essence - 1 tsp
Orange zest - 1 tsp
Vinegar or lemon juice - 1 tsp
Preparation
Preheat the oven at 180 degree C for 15 minutes.
Sieve maida, baking powder, baking soda together twice.
Grease the baking pan with little butter and dust flour. I used a 7 inch square baking tray.
Grate the skin of orange for orange zest. Do not grate the white skin inside as they will be very bitter.
Method
Keep all the things needed ready as it will make baking much easier and saves a lot of time and mess. Bring everything to room temperature.
In a bowl, combine condensed milk, butter, sugar, vanilla essence and beat until well mixed.
Add the remaining maida, orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice and fold gently until everything is well mixed. Pour the batter in a greased and floured baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes (180 degree C) in a preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
If you want cupcakes, line cupcake moulds with cupcake liners or grease cupcake moulds and spoon the batter into it. Bake in a preheated oven until done.
Wow!! Look at our orange cake. It looks perfect. Let it cool completely before cutting. This cake tastes delicious without any frosting.
Note - If you do not have an oven, do not worry, you can still bake cakes using my pressure cooker method. You can bake any cakes with eggs or eggless using the pressure cooker. Check out my Vanilla Cake made using the pressure cooker.
If you want, you can add 1/4 cup of mixed chopped nuts while adding the maida and orange juice.(mix of almonds, cashew nuts and walnuts).

Perfect looking and lovely.
Orange in bakes,never said no to them, beautiful cake.
Lovely flavourful cake
Hi,
I tried this cake yesterday. It turned out really nice. The only problem though was the cake had a slight bitter taste. I did not add orange zest, so its not because of the skin.What could i have missed?
Thanks for the great recipe though. Will try the vanilla one also soon.

Hi Newbie cook
Use quality oranges.Chances are if the orange juice is bitter, the cake will be bitter.
Another suggestion -May be next time you can skip baking soda altogether and add 1 tsp Baking powder instead of 1/2 tsp.
I have tried this cake many times with the above measurements and I have not had this problem.
Hello Padhu, I don't have oven as in the picture. Instead can I use Microwave oven?
is there any way of replacing condensed milk with any other thing...? as condensed milk is not always available at home...
