Whole Navel Orange-Honey Eggless Cake
I love bright Navel Oranges, the fact that they are seedless and juicy makes me an ardent fan of these orange beauties. Navel Oranges are a delicacy in baking cakes and muffins, as these impart beautiful color and flavors to the goodies.
These fruits are devoid of seeds and are propagated by cutting method . And since the blossom end of the fruit resembles the human navel it has got this unusual name – ‘Navel Orange’. Navel Orange-Honey Egg less Cake is a real treat with distinct flavors and soft texture.
Orange segments & Grated Peels
Ingredients;
- 1 cups of Refined flour
- 1/2 cup of Wholewheat flour
- 1 big size Navel Orange
- 1/4 cup of Honey
- 1/4 cup of white sugar (optional)
- 2 tbsp. of thick curd or Yogurt
- 1/4 cup of Oil (vegetable/Olive)
- 1/2 cup of dried fruits (raisins, almonds currents)
- 1 tsp. of Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp. of Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp. of Cinnamon powder
- A pinch of Salt
Flour and cinnamon
Method: Wash the Navel orange and grate the outer peel with a grater, make sure not to grate the white part of the orange (will give bitter taste to the cake). Makes about 2 tsp. of orange peel. De skin the orange and take out the segments, remove the fibers from them.
Honey
Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C. Take a big vessel and add both the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon powder in it. Sift the dry ingredients twice and keep the vessel aside.
Add the dried fruits in the dry flour mix.
Firm with slight furrows on the top
Take another vessel and pour the oil in it. Add honey and whip it gently. You can add the sugar also if you like your cake to be a bit sweeter. I avoided as I wanted to get the flavors of Honey in my cake. Add yogurt, orange segments and the grated peels in it. Whisk it gently.
Moist from Upside down
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry flour mix little at a time. Keep stirring with a very light hand. Stop mixing when all the ingredients are mixed and there are no lump and flour seen in the batter.
Raisins and orange segments peeping out
Grease a round cake mold and pour the batter into it. Bake the cake for 20 minutes at 200°C and reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 20 minutes or till the cake is firm and slightly golden from outside.
Irresistible Orange Treat!
Take the cake from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes. Slice it and serve with tea or with whipped cream.
The Navel orange-Honey cake is extremely moist with beautiful orange hue. The heady flavors of cinnamon, Honey and orange peels is hard to resist. And the segments of oranges in between the cake makes it more scrumptious. Try it and am sure you will love it.
This Navel Orange cake goes to the event Baking with fruits in Monthly Mingle on Deeba’s blog hosted by Meeta.

Hi,
I made this last week and it was awesome. Everybody loved it.
Though i dont have an oven, i made it in a pressure cooker…..came out perfect
Will make it often.
Thanks for such a wonderful and healthy recipe!!!
@Geeta, So happy that your family liked your cake! And you made in in pressure cooker, you are one excellent cook I must say. Best wishes, take care.
there s problem though….the cake did nt seem to be cooked even after forty minutes and and was crumbly
why
@Radhika, as you mentioned in your earlier comment that you made the cake a little more moist….if the batter is too liquid the cake will take more time to bake. Or even may remain soggy.
Baked this cake for my son’s third month b’day and it came out puuuurfect!
@Luv2cuk, thanks for trying out and happy baking!
This cake turned out really yummy, although with the change from celsius to fahrenheit, maybe I should have baked it at 350 f instead of 392 f. Other than that, this was great and all your cake recipes are amazing! I’m going to try them all!
@Lisa, thanks for such lovely words of encouragement. Glad that you are enjoying what you bake from Lite Bite! Happy baking. Hugs.
