It has been such a long time since I made a video in m YouTube channel. Though I had this video clipping ready before a month, I couldn’t find time to edit it and upload it. And also I my blog is giving me so many problems for the past two weeks. Even now I have some problem regarding YouTube and so I couldn’t attach the video here. I will give the link to the video below so that you can check it on my channel. I am trying really hard to rectify it.
This orange cake is one of the cakes I made for my daughter’s birthday celebrations. The top layer in the above cake is the orange cake. This cake is adapted from my Best Eggless Vanilla Cake Recipe. I have used freshly squeezed orange juice in the recipe to make the orange cake. Just swap it with other juices like pineapple, grape or any other fruit juice to make that flavour. If using store bought juice / crush, you need to reduce the sugar in the recipe as the juice itself will be loaded with sugar. This cake turns out amazingly soft and moist and is perfect to use with whipped cream decorations. They stay soft even after chilled. And this is one of the easiest cake recipes. You just need a single bowl to mix up the batter.

All Purpose Flour – 1 + 1/3 cups
Granulated Sugar – 3/4 cup

Mix it to form a smooth batter.
Pour it into the prepared cake tin.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Rest it on the wire rack for 10 minutes.
Flip on the wire rack, remove tin and the paper.
Cool it completely before wrapping in cling wrap.

Hi if I want to make a pineapple cake and I put ready pineapple juice , what should I reduce the sugar to?
If you use store bought juice, then you need to reduce sugar. But if you are using fresh juice, you don’t have to.
Can we add masumbi juice instead of orange juice
Yes, you can add any fruit juice.
Hi Gayathri, The cake looks so good.. I want to make a lemon cake.. Can I replace the orange juice and orange zest in this recipe with equal amount of fresh lemon juice and zest.. ?
Yes, you can do that for lemon cake.
Hi Gayathri… what is the measure of 1 cup …. 240 ml or 250 ml.
Mine is a 200 ml cup
Awesome soft and moist cake. Thanks a lot for the recipe. I have a doubt if I’m to make it with room Afza to make a rose flavour cake 3/4 cup of rose syrup would b too much . So how to adjust the liquid content . Pls help
I would suggest you add rose essence and food colour instead. Rooh Afza already is full of sugar and it would completely make a different recipe.
Hi Gayathri,
I made your Orange cake and it turned out super. Complete flat top, lovely caramel brown top and the cake taste divine with the orange juice n rind.
I am your ardent follower as I don’t eat egg, so your recipes are just great.
Just a question can i replace Maida with whole wheat flour and if Yes then what should be the quantity.
That is so good to hear. Thanks for sharing. If using whole wheat flour, reduce 1 tbs of flour. No other changes needed.
Hi mam,
This has become a staple cake at my home now.
But this time I am out of dark chocolate to make the ganache so instead of ganache can I use whipped cream frosting. Can it be chocolate whipped cream or regular vanilla whipped cream.
Thank you. Yes, you can definitely pair the cake with whipped cream.
