Ofcourse an egg replacement has been used - Flax Seeds, which not only makes the cake fluffy and moist, but also provides all the nutrients that flax seeds are known for.
I have not used any orange juice, so don't mind if you feel a lack of tang in the cake. I however you wish then feel free to add 0.5 cup of fresh orange juice and reduce the quantity of milk from 1 cup to 0.5 cup.
While, the orange peel is enough to give the cake the taste and flavor of oranges, you can still go ahead with a few drops of Orange Essence and Orange Food Color for a more robust smelling and orangish looking cake.
Don't be scared of using orange peel as it is not at all bitter. With correct technique you can get orange peel without any bitterness. See and understand my 3 ways to get orange peel for cakes, cookies and pancakes.

This recipe looks delicious. Can we avoid flax seeds. Other ingredient to be added to avoid flax seeds
ReplyDeleteYou can use egg itself. 2 eggs for this recipe. If not then, leave out both flax seeds and egg completely. There are egg replacement information in the internet, but I would not want to use items like mashed bananas, condensed milk or yogurt for this recipe because it will turn the cake batter very mushy and cake will become dense. However, I would like to know what is causing you problem with flax seeds?
