Instructions
Preparing the Eggless Orange Cake:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Sifting ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Create a Well: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, preparing it to receive the wet ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the freshly squeezed orange juice, vegetable oil, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Stir until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the well created in the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are acceptable; they will dissolve during baking.
- Pour into Cake Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake to avoid over-baking.
- Cooling Time: Allow the eggless orange cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Orange Glaze:
- Mix the Glaze: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar with freshly squeezed orange juice. Mix until you achieve a smooth glaze. For added citrus flair, you can incorporate the zest of one orange into the glaze.
Finishing Touch:
- Drizzle with Glaze: Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the orange glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a beautiful finish.
- Slice and Serve: With the glaze set, slice the Eggless Orange Cake into generous portions. Serve each slice with a sprinkle of additional orange zest or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
