Thank you so much!! In case, I don't wish to use the orange pulp part and instead just make the plain cake with maybe cut peals... will it work?? Enjoy
Aarthi
@vishnu rastogiif you have convection mode, then you can make
Aarthi
@Manvitha Kothayou can make, but it gives dense cake
Aarthi
@Anonymoususe 1 egg instead of curd.
Aarthi
@Anonymousorange juice will make it soft.
Aarthi
@Sujithrano if you have convection oven you can make
Aarthi
@Anonymousyes u can use musambi

Aarthi
@Anonymousit depends on the size of cake pan, if it is big one, it will take the same time. Insert a tooth pick to check whether the cake is done.
Aarthi

Hi Arthi
I was so excited the moment read your recipe of Eggless Orange cake that when I went back home from office I just tried the recipe carefully, but only to have a disaster cake, alas!!. It did not raise at all and the texture was like pudding. I guess liquid ingredients was more than required. I don't have the measuring cups. Kindly, give me your tips. I want to get an exact orange cake as it in ur post. Kindly help.
Aarthi
@AnonymousSorry to hear about your disaster. What i suggest you, for baking you need proper measuring cups and spoon. Because for baking measurements are more important. So please get measuring cups and spoons and use that for making cakes

Mera bhi cake accha nahi bana
Breeze P
Hurray!!! came out well. But the outer layer of the cake is dry and little hard (like crisp) and not as soft & moist as the inner part. Followed the same measurement... Not sure what went wrong... Adding more oil will bring the softness? Pls suggest. Planning to try ur orange pudding cake tomorrow...
Aarthi
@Breeze Pu must have over baked it. And as the cakes cool it will get soft
nandini nagasuri
Hi Aarthi,
I tried this recipe today. Only difference is i poured it in a little flat pan and baked, as i dont have a deep round bowl. Initially looked like it baked well. Thought it dint get as brown crust as shown in your pic, edges were brown, and it slightly started cracking on top, When inserted toothpick, it came out clean. But after cooling , i saw its slight wet at bottom. Its happening to all my cakes. :(I tried changing my silicone bakeware to nonstick aluminium bakeware also. Still the same. What is that is going wrong. Can u help me?
Regards,
Nandini
Aarthi
@nandini nagasuriI hope it may be because of the setting. do you preheat the oven before baking.
nandini nagasuri
yes, I preheat too, as per instructions given in manual..
Aarthi
@nandini nagasurithen may be the sugar is not melted properly

uzma khan
Hi cake looks amazing any substitute fr curd?
Aarthi
@uzma khanno sub for yogurt
Aarthi
@Arthi Rit depends on the size..check anywhere from 12 mins
Pratap Misra
Hi Arathi, I have tried with the same preparation. After 25 minutes the top of the cake comes out brown and I remove and test with tooth pick, but the inside was not done. I baked for another 5 minutes the cake became flat and after cooling down and cutting I saw it is not done at the middle.
What is the problem. I preheat it with 180 degree convection mode and my oven automatically buzz after preheat.
Bina Patel
Hi Arathi,I follow your blog as each bake looks so tempting. Wanted to try this recipe too.but a little confused as you have mentioned that your cup measures 240 gram.and yet in recipe you have taken 1 cup flour/120 gram maida.plz tell me what weight should I use.120gm or 240 GM.thanks.
Aarthi
@Bina Patelweigh as mentioned in the recipe. Because each ingredient weighs diff in a cup. If you have a 240 ml cup you can use that
Shaista
Just baked it now and as it came out from my oven it is almost fully eaten up. Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe. Please keep up the good work.
