Notes

  1. Freshly squeezed orange juice gives the best flavor to the cake so I would highly recommend that however, you can also use store-bought orange juice
  2. I have used sour cream but you can use yogurt or hung curd for this recipe. Make sure the curd doesn't have whey separated and Always use non-sour hung curd
  3. you can use 1/2 cup of condensed milk or 1/2 cup of sour cream or use 2 eggs instead of curd. If you are using condensed milk adjust the sugar accordingly.
  4. Over-mixed batter results in a dense cake so always sieve the dry ingredients well before mixing
  5. For the vegan orange cake, replace melted butter with flavorless oi
  6. you can add any frosting of your choice.  You can also prepare an orange glaze with powdered sugar and orange juice.
