1 Cup Maida (All Purpose Flour) | |
1 Cup Wheat Flour | |
0.75 Cup Sugar | |
0.5 Teaspoon Baking Soda | |
0.5 Teaspoon Baking Powder | |

Perfectly balanced Cake with just enough orange flavour, balanced with light sweetness.
If you are an Orange Lover, then this would be perfect treat for you. This Eggless Orange Cake is a perfect Tea time Cake. The cake is perfectly balanced with just enough orange flavour, balanced with light sweetness. Easy to make and wonderfully soft, this citrusy teacake is a perfect tea-time treat. We can use any time of oranges like Mandarins, Clementines etc. Lemon and Orange cake are always so special because of its citrusy flavor.
I always find these Eggless Orange cakes along with poppy seeds in the shop. I didn’t use poppy seeds. I like the plain Orange Cake without any toppings. I just sprinkled some confectionery sugar on top of the cake to make it more appetizing. We can also prepare Orange glaze with sugar, orange juice and pour it on top of the cake once the cake is fully cooled off.
Generally all purpose flour is used for any cake. But we can make it equal proportion of wheat flour and maida (all purrpose flour) instead of full maida. Or you can use only wheat flour excluding maida. If we plan to use only wheat flour then the cake will be little dense so increase the quantity of baking soda and baking powder also orange zest and juice.
I have used the conventional oven as I want a Orange loaf cake. But we can use usual round cake tin and bake it inside the pressure cooker too instead of oven. I have already shared many eggless cake recipes using pressure cooker. You can refer those Pressure Cooker Eggless Cakes to know the procedure to bake the cake inside the pressure cooker. Try this Eggless Orange Cake and share your suggestions and comments.

Thanks for sharing Orange cake recipe.
Please advise how much sugar to be added.
Sorry i forgot to mention in ingredients. We need 3/4 Cup of Sugar. I have updated the recipe now. Thanks for letting me know
Hi, you mentioned we can replace curd and oil with condensed milk and butter. Could you pls advice the measurements for condensed milk and butter?
Hi Soma, we can use 1 stick or 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup condensed milk. We can skip sugar as condensed milk itself will be sweet
