How to Make It — Step by Step
Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line a 7 inch cake tin with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
Sift maida, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Add sugar and whisk to combine.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl whisk together orange juice, oil and curd until smooth and well blended.
Combine
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake
Pour batter into prepared tin and bake at 180C for 30 to 35 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check it comes out clean before removing from oven.
Tips for the Best Result
Fresh orange juice gives the cake a brighter, more natural citrus flavor compared to store-bought, so squeeze it fresh when you can.
Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, mix just until combined. Overmixing will make the cake dense and tough.
Make sure your curd or yogurt is at room temperature before mixing. Cold curd can affect the rise and texture of the cake.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour but the cake will be slightly denser. You may need to add a tablespoon or two of extra liquid.
Yes, use coconut yogurt or almond yogurt in the same quantity for a fully dairy-free version.
Absolutely! Adding the zest of one orange to the batter will intensify the orange flavor beautifully.
Check that your baking powder and baking soda are fresh and active, as expired leavening agents are the most common reason a cake does not rise.
