Orange Loaf Cake / Low Calorie Orange Loaf Cake With Olive Oil

Orange Loaf Cake / Orange Cake With Olive Oil Recipe. From this September my elder one started going Kindergarten, he liked his new school, friends and above all the School Bus ride. He takes School Bus one way, morning V drops him at school and evening he comes by School Bus. He loves going to new school because of School Bus ride.  But the only thing he dislike or struggles, waking up early in the morning, at least he should wake up by 6.30am(his usual time 8 or 8.15am). Somehow last week he managed to wake up and went to school on time. So as a treat I baked this Orange Loaf Cake for him. Both my kids loved it. And from this week he gets to routine :) My kids asking for some chocolate cake with cream, so will be baking it soon for them. Now to the recipe, long back I bookmarked this from US Masala. I have tried few recipes from her space n never disappointed, this loaf cake is very simple, so soft n delicious cake. It came out so well. We really loved it a lot. Do give it a try. The recipe as follows...

Ingredients

  1. All Purpose Flour      1 cup
  2. Corn Starch     1/4 cup
  3. Sugar     1/2 cup
  4. Baking Powder     1 tsp
  5. Salt        1/4 tsp
  6. Baking Soda    1/2 tsp
  7. Yogurt/curd    1/4 cup
  8. Egg     1
  9. Orange Juice     3/4 cup ( freshly squeezed - 1 and 1/2 orange)
  10. Orange Zest      1 tbsp
  11. Extra Virgin Olive Oil     4 tbsp


Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients - APF,corn flour,salt,baking powder n baking soda and keep aside.
  • Take another bowl, beat sugar n egg until smooth n fluffy, then add yogurt n olive oil beat for another 1 minute and stir in orange juice n orange zest.
  • Now add the dry ingredients to the egg-orange mixture and mix well.
  • Grease a 5x8" loaf pan with non stick cooking spray or oil, pour the batter in to pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until an inserted knife or toothpick comes out clean.
  • Once done remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes then cool it completely in a wired rack.
  • After cooling, slice it n Enjoy!

Notes:
If you want, can add 1/2 tsp Vanilla also.
I baked the cake in 350 degree Fahrenheit for 25 or 27 minutes, oven temperature may vary, so keep an eye.
Slice the cake once it cool down completely, to get a perfect slice.
You can also dust the cake top with icing sugar or with some desired glaze, but this cake tasted so delicious without any glaze or sugar coatings.
If needed you can also add 1/2 cup of any desired nuts or dry fruits/tutty frutti etc.

  26. Hi! I was looking for a low-fat orange cake recipe that didn't yield huge quantities when I came across your blog. I just tried your recipe and it came out great. Just that it requires more sugar, with all the flour and the tanginess from the orange zest the sugar gets overpowered. I also added nuts and it gives a good taste! I think i might have left it in the oven for a tad bit longer because my bottom came out crusty. Overall it's a keeper with just some minor modifications. Thanks!

    1. Thank you so much for taking time to share your feedback here, yes.,adding nuts will give nice crunch and taste to the loaf cake. sure adjust sugar or zest to your choice. Hope you get it perfect next time.

  27. Hi Sangeetha, this is really yummy recipe.I've tried it twice and it turned out awesome both the time. This time, I want to try an egg-less version of it. What should I replace egg with to get the same soft loaf? thanks for your time

    1. You can use egg replacer or instead of oil use butter and replace sugar with condensed milk. I haven't tried this recipe without egg, just giving you some options and hope it works.
