INGREDIENTS
All purpose flour / maida - 1.5 cup
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda - half a tsp
Cornflour - 1 tsp (optional only, gives a structure to cake )
Salt - a pinch
Vegetable oil - half a cup
Orange juice - half a cup, fresh, sweet
Orange zest - half a tsp,( optional)
Vanilla or orange essence - half a tsp
Thick less sour curd - half a cup
Powdered sugar - half a cup + 3 tbsp
PREPARATION
- Preheat the oven to 180 degree C.
- Grease a cake pan and dust it with flour. Set aside ready.( I took a wide cake mold to make a thin cake. You can take 8-inch cake pan for a normal thick cake.)
- Sieve together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set them aside.
- Now add the less sour curd in a bowl and whisk it well.
- To this, add powdered sugar (add sugar in a blender and powder it) and again whisk well.
- Add oil and whisk it, add orange juice and whisk it.
- Now add orange zest, vanilla essence and whisk well.
- Now add the sifted flour little by little and fold well gently. Do not whisk after adding the flour. Fold them without any lumps.
- Now pour this prepared batter into the cake pan and bake for 30 minutes at 180 degree C in a preheated oven.
- Insert a tooth pick and if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let it cool and then slice. For a nice slice, refrigerate the cake for few minutes. Serve along with a nice cup of tea. Keep refrigerated the remaining cake.
NOTES:
- If you are using fresh orange juice, just make it only before adding to the batter. Else it will taste bitter (keeping orange juice for long).
- Some may not like the taste of orange zest. So for those..can skip it.
- Keep a butter paper under the cake tray while baking in the oven (as in the image). This will give a nice texture to the bottom of the cake.
