EGGLESS WHOLE WHEAT ORANGE TEA CAKE

Sweet Oranges are back in Market. The excess oranges lying at home made me to try this recipe from my friend's space. I tweaked her recipe a bit.. went for an eggless version lesser butter n whole wheat. This mini loaf turned sooper moist with citrussy flavor and perfect tea time munch.

Butter - 1 tbsp (softened)
Fresh orange juice - 1/4 cup
Yogurt - 1/4 cup (or as reqd)
2 tbsp Milk (or as reqd) + 1 pinch saffron (dissolved)

How to make:
Preheat the oven to 180C. Butter and flour loaf tin.

Dissolve saffron in 1 tbsp of milk. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.


Cream butter and sugar until soft. Add yogurt, orange juice, saffron soaked milk, and zest and mix well.
