A spate of unsatisfactory bakes- that is what occurred to me previously
couple of weeks. Like a row of flop movies- Aaw, poor joke right here, excuse
me:-). A souffle which rose – however not excessive sufficient, a genoise
which didn’t appear tall sufficient to make a birthday cake out of, a chocolate
cake which acquired the right ganache drape, however I tousled with the
decoration- too huge an ‘Oops’ to make it to the weblog. My dessert didn’t set properly sufficient to slice it, Agar-agar – u let me down:-(. Add the extraordinarily temperamental electrical energy provide in Namma Bengaluru – would delay probably the most passionate of bakers I assume. Energy provide appears to be a lot extra constant previously few days- Contact-wood!!
Yesterday after a very long time, my oven smiled on me once more. Whew!! I had seen this Orange Yogurt Cake on Pavani’s weblog right here and had immediately bookmarked it (amongst scores of many many recipes, do not know when I’ll ever strive all of them!!). I like oranges in a BIG means, I do not know what number of dozens of them I ate after I was carrying my first one – a lot that hubby began worrying about it:-). Oranges in bakes is one thing I completely adore. I had oranges in my fridge and this appeared the right recipe to strive – low fats, fast and tremendous simple.
It was simply one of many tastiest tea muffins I’ve baked- tremendous spongy, moist, refreshing and deliciously zesty. Thanks Pavani for sharing this recipe and reminding me of the forgotten Martha Stewart web site. This cake is one thing which goes to be on my favorites record for a very long time to come back..

This cake tastes pleasant by itself and wishes no frosting . yeah, the glaze I’ve used right here was purely for the youngsters. No- it was for the youngsters and the weblog photos;-).
My verdict: The right tea cake, will certainly make this once more, taking care so as to add solely 2 tablespoons sugar (I ignored this small element within the unique recipe, one tablespoon was for dusting on prime) into the batter. Too late I found out why the cake tasted a wee bit sweeter… however it was a beautiful cake.
The one shortcoming within the cake: the smallish dimension…sigh..!!
