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.
