Eggless Orange Cake with Candied Orange Peel Filling

I have never been fond of Orange Flavour specially the artificial flavour in ice lollies, squashes, sweet orange candies. But when I saw the recipe of this cake it enticed me. The recipe said it is made with fresh orange juice and candied orange peels. The idea itself was so inviting that I took a plunge and decided to bake this cake.

To my surprise the cake came out delicious, fluffy and moist in spite of being eggless. The most impressive thing about this cake was the center filling with candied orange peel. It  took this cake to the next level of deliciousness. Now you will understand why I chose this special cake for my 100th post on my blog 🙂 🙂

Directions:

1. Make Candied Orange Peels and keep aside. You can follow this recipe. Grease a Bundt pan or any pan of your choice. Do not forget to dust it with flour so that the cake can come out easily after baking. Preheat your oven for 10 minutes on 180 degree Celsius. Learn More about Oven temperatures and Conversions.

7. Add Orange juice and mix everything. Add rest of the flour mix and combine.

9.Pour half the batter in a greased pan and spread the candied orange peel all over the surface.

10. Now pour rest of the batter on top of the candied peels.

11.Bake in preheated oven on 180 degree Celsius  for 40-50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool down completely before you invert it on a tray. Otherwise the cake will break. Cut into slices and enjoy the delicious, moist orange cake.
