Eggless Moist Orange Cake




Hi everyone...Happy Tamil New Year...this is my first bake after a long absence. My Princess Shweta is a month old now and things are slowly getting into a routine. I managed to slot in a bake when she was taking a nap ;)....guess this is how things are gonna be for some time till she grows up...

Now, this cake is an easy bake, moist, fragrant with the right amount of sweetness. Do give it a try when u have only an hour to bake a cake as the preparation time I took was only 30 mins and 30 mins to bake. Most of the ingredients are things we usually have in the pantry.


Ingredients:

All purpose flour - 1 1/4 cup
Butter - 1/2 cup
Sweetened creamer - 1/2 cup
Brown castor sugar - 2 tbsp
Juice from 2 large oranges - freshly squeezed (1/2 cup)
Grated orange rind from 2 oranges
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Baking powder - 1/2 tsp
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp

Method :

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
In a mixing bowl,  beat together butter, creamer and sugar till well mixed.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and keep aside.
Next, add flour mixture and orange juice alternatively to the butter mixture and mix well with a wooden spatula. Add in vanilla extract.
Pour in a greased baking pan and bake for 30 mins or till skewer inserted comes out clean.

You may want to double the recipe if you want a taller cake which I plan to do the next time ;)
