How to make Eggless Whole Wheat Orange Cake Recipe
To begin making the Eggless Whole Wheat Orange Cake recipe, preheat your oven to 180 degree C.
Sieve 1 cup whole wheat flour with corn flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and keep aside.
In a blender take, the granulated sugar, oil and blend well till the mixture get creamy.
I made orange juice at home, you can take ready made juice too.
You can also blend the orange segments (seeds removed) and strain the juice like I have done. I used three medium oranges to get a bit more than 1 cup juice.
Now add 1 cup orange juice in the sugar oil mixture and stir well.
Now add the sieved flour mixture and 1 teaspoon orange zest to get a more dominant flavor of oranges, you can also add orange extract or essence.
To get the zest of orange, just grate the orange peel, before you peel the oranges.
Only grate the orange part, don’t grate the white part.
Mix everything very well with a spatula and check there should be no lumps in the cake batter.
Pour the batter in a lined or greased cake tin of about 6 inches.
Bake in a preheated oven for 180 degrees C for 30-35 minutes or till the tooth pick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Transfer the cake on a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before cutting into slices.
Serve Eggless Whole Wheat Orange Cake on its own as a dessert after your meal or serve its slices during tea time with a cup of hot Masala Chai.
