| Iced Orange Cake |
I made this cake last weekend and it came out so moist and soft.The orange flavour just lifted up the cake and the aroma of the cake was so good. I had a small piece left over and I tasted it the next day and it was so yummy,This cake get better the next day.The icing I made is a simple orange icing which was yummy,but you could make any icing you want.Since the cake has orange zest and orange juice it keeps well for 3-4 days..This is one of Rachael Allen’s recipe..I added some orange juice into it…You could even add some nuts in this..

Hi Aarthi,
How did u get the orange zest? Just scraping the outer layer of orange peel?
@Vidyalakshmi SankaranYes scrape the outer orange part of orange alone..Dont scrape the white part.
Can bake this in microwave?
@sindhuif u have convection mode u can bake.
Hello aarthi maam i want to bake as eggless so what is the alternate to eggs… i hope u answer me soon
Hi can i add half a cup of condesedmilk instead of eggs?
@AnonymousI haven't tried it without eggs so far. You can add some curd i hope.
Thank u maam
Tried this cake and it came out very well.. It was yummy except for the cake sunk in the middle. What could be the reason,Have I over baked it??
@Jazmin AlfaisalU have added too much rising agent, in this case u have added too much baking powder
@Jazmin Alfaisal
I have tried this cake (right off Rachel Allen on TLC) some 5-6 times, yes it tends to sink in the middle unlike normal cakes . Just ensure its cooked through. The flavor of the cake makes up for it though. Use a normal pan insted of
a bigger pan.
Arathi I just have powdered sugar at home. No icing sugar! Can I substitue by adding more powdered sugar? How much? Also can I use powder sugar for icing glaze here?
@Anonymousyes u can use powdered sugar
Any substitute of eggs? Can I make eggless with the same ingredients.. Result will be same?
@Anonymousnot sure about egg sub.I haven't tried it without eggs so far. You can add some curd i hope.
for how much time the microoven have to pre heat at 180C? i m new in baking and have a 20lit godrej microwave oven.. pls suggest
@di ghoshpreheta it for 10 mins
Hey arathi, made this one and it came out perfectly just that the white icing part didnt come for me! That white colour look was not there..any idea why?
@anju varmai am not sure though
Hi Aarthi. Just wanted to check what flour you have used. Is it self raising flour?
@Anonymousno it is normal flour..all purpose flour
Hi Aarthi. I have tried this with my 27ltr convection. Prehit at 180 degree8-10 minutes and set the baked time to 20 minutes. The cake raised duly within 8-10 minutesBut after 10-12 minutes the cake turns brown. Fearing a burnt cake, I reduced the heat to 120 degree and bake for another 5 minutes.
It sunk at the middle and the middle portion did not bake properly.
What happens?
@Madhusmitaif ur cake is getting darker soon, place a sheet of foil on top..dont cover it completely, just place it on top
Arathi can I add olive oil instead of butter?
yes u can use oil instead of butter
Arathi can I add olive oil instead of butter?
