Orange Loaf Cake Recipe
I have a great news to share with you all. NO I AM NOT PREGNANT. My little blog reached 2 million hits, this means my blog has been viewed 2 million times over this past 1.5 years. YUMMY TUMMY has given me lots of recognition and proud moments over the years.
About Orange Loaf Cake Recipe
To celebrate this awesome moment I have an awesome cake just for you. This cake is made entirely me, I mean its my own recipe, I didn't refer any recipes online or any cookbook or any bits of paper. And the result is an awesome credit from hubby, before telling that let me give you a small intro about my favourite cake when I was a chubby little girl.
Wonder cake, it is a popular branded cake which has so many flavours like chocolate, vanilla, pineapple and you name it. It taste so soft and yummy, we used to have it along with a cup of milk or tea. Any one remember that cake?
The cool thing about this cake is , it has no butter it..Actually there is no much fat in it. It just has 3 tbsp of olive oil. That's it. So you can enjoy it without feeling guilty. I love baking more than eating those cake, but this is one cake which I totally love it..It has the real orange flavour, I loved the little orange zest peek here and there all over the cake, which makes it more spectacular..

Congratulations on the 2mm hits, Aarthi. I've been experimenting with baking up my own concoctions as well...and had some success recently with a flour-less no-butter no-oil banana-chocolate-orange cake with nuts.
Although I personally don't have any gluten allergies, I've been impressed by the advancements in the gluten-free arena...especially baking...and would love to see you use gf flours instead of maida. I know if a novice like me could bake a yummy gluten-free cake, someone with your potential could do wonders in educating this audience.
Thanks for sharing!

CONGRATULATIONS Yummy Tummy! That is a lot of hits in just 1.5 years ;). Well deserve indeed. Good to see a loaf cake without any butter and still turn out fluffy. I do love cakes infused in orange zest and juice. Cheers, Jo

Can I make this without eggs? What would be a good replacement for eggs? We don't eat eggs... Thanks!

Hi I baked this yesterday. Followed the exact measurements, but the cake turned to be a little dense. It tasted more like orange bread than cake.
Aarthi
@A and Ayou can use flax seed powder in place of eggs..I think you can add a little more oil and a additional 1/2 cup of curd. I have never tried it, give it a try and let me know how it came out
