Eggless Orange Cake Recipe

Eggless Orange Cake

I made this eggless orange loaf cake on order from my mother. She wanted me to bake this cake for some of her friends who meet weekly to sing devotional songs(bhajans). Obviously it had to be eggless.

I have made my fair share of eggless
cakes, as I went through a serious phase of egg allergy. Now the allergies occur intermittently so I have largely given up on my eggless baking experiments.
But since maa had asked for it, I had to bake it. I had some fresh oranges in my fridge. So I baked an eggless orange loaf cake which was enjoyed by them.

The main challenge in an eggless cake is substituting for the eggs. Eggs due to their protein content in both the yolk and the whites, help to give the cake its structure. The protein coagulates during the baking process and combines with the starch in the flour to form the cake crumb. So the main challenge is in substituting the protein in eggless cakes. In this recipe, I have taken the help of milk proteins to give my cake structure.
