All purpose flour – 200 gms (1 & half cup)
Milkmaid – 250 gms
Sugar powder  ( Peethi saakhar)- 50 gms
Butter- 3 tbsp
Oil – 3 tbsp
Baking powder – 1 & half tsp
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Orange Essence – 1 tsp
Freshly home made or store bought orange juice  (Room tempreture) – 250 ml
Vinegar – 1 tsp

orange food colour – 1 or 2 drop

Butter / parchment paper , oven, cake tin

NOTE –

• You can reduce orange essence and add orange zest . Zest – just grate the orange part of the orange [ not the white part .

• I have used imported oranges and extracted juice from it .

METHOD

Preheat the oven at 200 degrees for 10 mins meanwhile prepare the batter

In a  bowl add 3 tbsp of butter (room temperature) + 3 tbsp oil + 50 gms of sugar whisk well to make it fluffy .

Add 250 gms of milkmaid now whisk again thoroughly.

Now in a glass of 250 ml orange juice  (room temperature) add 1 tsp vinegar and 1 tsp orange essence + colour .

In a separate bowl sieve together 250 gms all purpose flour + Baking Soda + Baking powder.

Now add a bit by bit  the juice  and all purpose flour in milkmaid mixture and keep beating the batter to avoid lumps.

Now beat everything properly.

Take a cake tin and apply parchment paper by buttering the cake tin pour the mixture inside it and tap the tin to avoid formation of any bubbles.

Bake the cake at : 200 degrees for 30 mins

OR

180 degrees for 45 mins

(If baking in cooker – 30 mins on low flame 15-20 mins on medium flame)

After 30 mins chk the cake by putting a toothpick to see whether the cake is cooked from inside if batter is sticking to toothpick…bake for 10 – 15 mins more. Mine was done in 30 mins but the cooking of cake depends from oven to oven as heat varies in different ovens. Let the cake cool down completely  .

Slice it only when it cools down well  .

FROSTING – take 2 tbsp orange juice + 100 grms icing sugar [ powdered sugar ]   + orange essence OR  2 orange zest  a bowl . Beat it well to a thick consistency .[ use immediately ]

Once the cake cools down properly , pour it all over .
