Eggless orange sponge cake recipe with condensed milk and orange juice. Orange cake recipe with detailed step-by-step pictures.
Baking is quite new to me. I started baking recently and gaining much confidence in baking. I haven’t tried any recipes on my own so far but trying out some easy baking recipes from other blogs. This Eggless Orange sponge cake recipe I tried from here, and it turned out extremely well.
The addition of orange zest adds an excellent flavor to the sponge cake. If you are looking for a super-soft, spongy eggless, butterless cake, then you should definitely try this orange cake. We are using condensed milk in this orange cake recipe. This gives a soft and smooth texture to the cake.
Usually many people who eat cake with eggs, say, that eggless cake witll be dense. Trust me, this eggless orange sponge cake was super soft and moist. I made this for my daughter’s friends who visited us during hoilidays. They relished it and the cake got over in no time.
I made this Eggless cake in an Oven, but if you want to make this in a pressure cooker, you can check out my Eggless pressure cooker cake recipe. It turns out very well in cooker too.
You can make this cake for birthday parties, get togethers and other small occasions at home. I remember we once made this cake for Ganesh chaturthi. The kids group in our apartment wanted to celebrate Lord Ganesha’s birthday by cutting a cake.
This is a perfect beginner baking recipe. No complex methods or steps involved in this recipe.

Hi jeyashri, is orange zest a compulsary ingredient?
It is not compulsory but i recommend the zest to give an extra zing to the taste.
hi jeyashri, can u clarify what is one can of condensed milk? Can u tell me the weight ? WE get different sized cans here..confused! 🙂 beautiful recipe, cant wait to try it!
Hi
The can which I usually use is 415 gms. Happy baking
Hi Jeyashri!
Tried this cake yesterday, used store bought Orange juice (100%-Tropicana) and reduced the sugar as instructed..the cake came out well, soft,moist and yummy but completely lacked the orange flavour! 🙁 can u suggest what would have gone wrong?
Hi,
I have baked this cake many times but with fresh orange juice, but i never had this problem. even i am little clueless what would have happened!!. Will discuss this with my fellow bloggers and Will get back to you as early as possible.
Is it sweetened condensed milk or plain one? Thanks in advance
It is Sweetened condensed milk.
Hi, what is the measurement of a cup and a can?
My 1 cups holds a liquid measure of 200 ml. And the milkmaid can is the standard 14oz can.
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour?
You can use but the cake will come out dense. You can use half atta and half maida too.
