Orange Cake

Hello Friends!!!

I just love oranges!!! After California trip there was many and many oranges and I love oranges after mango as It is the most citrus fruit and can make anything from appetizer to desserts. I want to do an orange cake as it is the best to have as it is not needed to apply frosting on it and it is the best moist and feeling orange flavor and goes best along with a cup of tea or coffee or as a snack.Thanks a lots Priya as it is an egg-less & butter-less too

• Sift the flour,baking powder,baking soda and salt in a bowl. Keep aside 
• Whisk the oil,orange extract/vanilla extract ,orange juice ,water and orange zest and mix well.
• Pour the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix well until it is well incorporated.

• Once cooled you can frost the cake or keep it as it is.
