It’s been one year since I made Matcha Chiffon Cake for my brother’s 10 years wedding anniversary. This year, I chose a fruity and light citrus cake with no egg and no butter in the ingredients. Kind of “healthy-ish” like this Eggless and Butterless Orange Sponge Cake 🙂
This is for real! No joke, this cake is your dream cake, and mine too. Everything that I want in a cake, all here in this Orange Cake. No eggs, no butter, no machine needed, few ingredients, simple steps and above all, it taste amazing! What else can I asked for?
This cake got me so excited that I had to immediately make it. This is a proof, that sometimes, simple is better. The cake is super soft and moist, and the flavor of the orange was very intense, oh so good! The cake has a heavier and dense texture which makes it a very filling snack, but I wouldn’t judge If you eat more than 1 slice, because I am guilty myself. Let’s keep it between us and the many others reading this blog 🙂
This is my go to cake for a short notice cake baking, it only took me 1 hour to make this cake. The best part of it, I don’t have to take out my mixer, everything is done by hand. Plus, decorating this is so easy breezy. Any fresh fruits will look nice and will taste good.
I find this cake perfect for tea time, it is simple and yet it could look elegant with just a dust of icing sugar on top and few assorted fresh fruits on top. One would think that it’s difficult to make this cake, but looks could be deceiving. If you feel like a chocolate cake instead, don’t worry I got you covered. Checkout my One Bowl Eggless and Butterless Orange Chocolate Cake, it is as easy and simple and delicious as this one too.
