I love the tang of an orange Cake. It tastes so fresh and pure indulgence.
Going to supermarket and looking at fresh produce is my favorite thing. Seems silly but I do just sometimes walk around and buy things I’d like to indulge in. One such produce is “oranges”. They have such freshness and fragrance which in its edible form is divine.
This beat & Bake Orange cake as the name suggests is so simple to put together and delicious on its own. It’s at very high list on tea time indulgence at my home.
Directions to make Beat & Bake Orange Cake-
Ingredients :
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1&1/2 cups caster sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
About 2 tsp orange zest
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
3 eggs beaten
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
In a bowl sift together flour, salt and baking powder.
Sift sugar. Mix well and keep aside.
In another bowl mix together beaten eggs, milk, orange juice, orange zest and oil. Mix well.
Now make a well in the dry ingredients and mix the wet ingredients in three batches until a smooth batter is formed.
Line the cup cake tin with liner and fill uptil 2/3 full.
Bake at 180°C for 15-20 min or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Enjoy!!
Ps.
You can adjust the amount of orange juice as per your taste. (No harm in tasting the cake batter, more orange taste the better)
Get the orange zest before juicing the oranges.
You can add nuts as per your choice to get crunch in the cupcake.
All purpose flour can be replaced by the regular wheat flour. However the texture may differ and they may turn out a little dense.
This recipe produce 18-24 cupcakes according to the size of the tin used.

What is the shelf life of these cupcakes mam?
2 days outside and about 10 days in refrigeration.
I meant if I wanted to bake a cake instead of cupcakes, what oven settings should I be using to get the texture and flavours right?
The oven setting will be the same. It will take about 30-40min to bake the cake in a round or square tin.
Any alternate option for egg for vegetarian.
Use 3/4 cup of thick buttermilk of fresh curd. Hope this helps.
Hi. What would the baking settings be for a cake? Thanks 🙂
Not sure about your question. Can you rephrase?
Wow!! These look so scrumptious and healthy too… with the citrusy flavor of oranges in a cupcake!! Love it!!
Thanks so much. These are one of my favorites.
orange cupcake looks so tempting. I love adding orange to most of my bakes.
Thanks.
