Orange fruit and nut cake is a soft, moist, fluffy and fresh orange flavoured cake variety that is loaded with tutti frutti and almond. This spongy and airy orange tutti frutti cake is easy to make and eggless. It is a vegan and perfect tea time cake recipe. This Orange Cake is made with fresh orange juice. This eggless orange cake recipe is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. I have already shared mini orange cake recipe in my earlier post that was prepared to attract kids.
To make eggless and vegan orange cake beat sugar and ghee mixture properly till it become light and creamy. You may use salted butter in place of ghee. It is prepared with minimal ingredients like flour, oil, sugar powder and leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda. Here in this recipe I haven’t used any milk substitute to make it vegan. To give orange flavor, I have used orange juice and orange zest.
Orange cake is the perfect breakfast, dessert or snack cake. This is definitely a relatively healthy orange cake recipe compared to others. You can also make few variations by adding some choco chips. If you are looking for a kid-friendly snack, or an adult-friendly dessert (or breakfast), it’s a perfect choice.
