I have been always looking for a good whole wheat cake recipe. After a long search i came across a simple and no fuss recipe of whole wheat egg less orange cake.
The cake has the orange flavor with a light orange color. The orange juice and the zest indeed give the cake a sweet and a fruity punch.
First time when i had an orange cake at one of my friends place, it simply reminded me of the orange cream biscuits that i use to have as a child. Since then i wanted to make one by myself and let my family taste it as well. Though the cake i made is with wheat flour but it also can be made by using all purpose flour. I have made the orange cake with fresh orange juice but you can even use ready made orange juice too.
