Its Mother's Day today. A day to celebrate motherhood and thank mothers. Mothers are the pillars in our lives. Without whom, we would not have gotten this life.
To celebrate Mother's Day, I am baking an orange cake for our Weekend Baking Session. Orange cakes are not as popular as chocolate, coffee or vanilla cakes. I love orange cake for its citrusy taste and tangy aroma.
Orange Cake
What do we need:
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 tbsp orange zest
2 egg white
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
How do we do it:
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking sofa ans salt together. Set aside.
Combine the orange juice and water. Set aside.
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add orange zest and egg yolks one by one. Beat well. Add the sifted flour mixture alternately with water, beginning and ending with the flour.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Add sugar little by little and beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold 1/3 of the beaten egg white into the orange mixture to lighten it. Then, pour the lightened orange mixture into the remaining beaten egg white. Fold gently but quickly and thoroughly to combine both mixtures.
Pour the batter into a greased and lined 6" round cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 175° C for about 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and let it cool completely.
Fill and frost the cake with your favourite frosting. Decorate as per desired.
A Very Happy Mother's Day To All The Mothers.

Hi Pushpa
I have made the cake. taste was orangey rather nice.. texture was smooth but my cake rise and fell. Like a bit damp. I used an 8 inch round tin with your portion of recipie. I used 63 gm butter with 1 cup plain flour. Maybe shd increase flour by half cup. What do you think ?
Could you pls let me know how many gram in 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup flour respectively?
Hi pushpa.Your orange cake looks yummy ! have a couple of questions. For this recipe can what can i use as a substitute for eggs? and also could you please share a the recipe for vanilla or buttercream frosting?
