Its been so long since I baked cakes/biscuits for little one. Few days back I remember seeing an Olive Oil based cake recipe in SeriousEats website and was planning to bake an Eggless version using EVOO at home. Instead of the usual chocolate flavor I chose Orange this time. I didn’t have enough Cupcake Liners at home so baked this in my loaf tin. After reading few blogs and watching Eggless cake recipe videos I adjusted the measurements, used ingredients that were available in my pantry. All you need is a wire whisk to combine the ingredients. Such a simple and basic recipe with great output. Planning to experiement different flavors like Lemon, Blueberry etc using this as a base recipe 🙂
You can use the same mixture and bake them in Cupcake moulds too. Also since it is my first attempt at making an Orange flavored cake and also baking with Olive Oil I don’t know how the output will be if you try and change the measurements/Ingredients given below 🙂

Hi Mam,
Can we use coconut oil instead of olive oil
Hi I haven’t baked with coconut oil.I feel the smell is bit strong.. In case if you don’t have Olive oil try substituting with Vegetable Oil or sunflower oil..
