Directions

• In a wide bowl,sieve the maida,baking powder,soda and salt.Mix well.Add the orange zest to it.( I grated the skin of orange and mixed with the flour) Set aside. Grease a baking pan with oil or butter and sprinkle the maida all over the pan.Keep aside. In another bowl,mix the sugar,oil and orange juice. Use a whisk and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves well. Add the flour to the oil mixture and mix it with a spatula or whisk in one direction.Do not over beat the mixture. Cake will not rise.The batter should fall like a ribbon.This is the right consistency. Preheat the oven in convection mode at 180c for 10  minutes.Pour the batter in the baking pan and pat its bottom once for even distribution of batter.Now bake the cake in convection mode at 180c for 30-35 minutes.Check the cake by inserting a tooth pick in the center of the cake after 30  minutes.If it comes out clean or with little crumbs,cake is done.If u find the wet batter in the tooth pick,bake the cake for 2-3 minutes more.Invert the pan in a plate after the cake is cooled down.Cut into slices and enjoy with Tea.
