RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Eggless Orange Cake

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 tsp orange zest (optional), plus extra for topping
• ½ cup fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges)
• ½ cup plain yogurt (preferably thick)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup oil (neutral-flavored, like canola or vegetable)
• A few drops of orange extract or vanilla extract
• Milk, as needed

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Eggless Orange Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Zest 1-2 oranges and set the zest aside. Squeeze fresh orange juice and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix well. Add 1 teaspoon of orange zest and mix again. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the orange juice, yogurt, sugar, and oil until well combined.
4. Add the orange or vanilla extract and mix again. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
5. If the batter feels too thick, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Sprinkle additional orange zest on top, if desired.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Your moist and zesty orange loaf cake is ready! Slice and enjoy it as a refreshing snack or dessert with a cup of coffee or your favorite drink.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor. If you're short on time, 100% bottled juice can also be used. Ensure the juice is unsweetened.
2. Grease the baking pan or line it with parchment paper. This helps with easier removal and prevents the cake from sticking.
