MyMusingsSangSpeak-Pet Puja - Orange Cake

 Orange Cake

Orange cake is a tasty variation of plain cake recipe, delicious with the orangey flavour and easy to make too. It is exactly the same recipe as that of the plain cake, only in place of vanilla essence you will use natural orange juice with some orange rind which gives it that unique flavour. I personally do not like artificial flavours and colours, so I generally avoid them in my recipes.

I am posting the recipe of orange cake to be baked in pressure cooker. You can bake it in electric oven too.

Ingredients

Butter - 100 gms

Sugar – 125 gms

Flour – 125 gms

Eggs – 2 nos

Milk - 1/2 cup

Baking Powder – ¾th teaspoon

Orange Juice – ½ cup

Orange Rind – 1 teaspoon

Method

Beat butter till it is light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat well. Add eggs and beat the mix thoroughly. Sieve together flour and baking powder. Add this sieved flour baking powder mix to the beaten mixture of butter, sugar and egg by folding it lightly. Add orange juice and orange rind and mix well. Add milk and mix well.

Apply butter to the baking tray and dust lightly with flour. Add the cake batter and tap the tray lightly. Put pressure cooker on the gas burner, and let it heat up and put the flame on medium to low. Place separator in the cooker and place the baking tray. Place the lid without the rubber gasket( you can use an old rubber gasket if you wish) and whistle. Baking time is about 35-40 minutes. To check, whether the cake is baked properly, pierce a knife in the centre most portion of the cake, if no batter is stuck on the knife, it means cake is baked properly.

 Note – The cake can be baked in an electric oven that is preheated for 5 minutes at 180 degrees Centigrade. Baking time for the cake is half hour.
