Orange Eggless Cake

I had so much oranges in my fridge, was wondering to make, thought I will make some squash then realised that I had to make this as my hubby loves this and he insisted making this for him over the weekend. I made this with wheat flour and eliminated using APF. This super spongy cake goes well as tea time snack, You can reduce the sugar if you like, I felt 4 tbsp was needed, depending on your orange juice, if its sour then add more sugar, more or less of sugar wont  harm the texture of your cake.

As I bake the aroma of the orange was filled in the entire house and I love this smell.

Pour the mixture into the greased  tin and tap it twice to remove the air bubbles formed if any.  Put this into an oven and  bake it for 35-40 mins until tooth pick comes out clean when inserted into it. Its upto your oven the time taken may be less or even more so wait and cook until the tooth pick comes out clean.
