Eggless Orange Cake

I had so many recipes in mind for making orange cake.But I was not inspired by any recipe ,like this.Today morning,when I saw Rak's kitchen,I was inspired by her simple ,yet delicious orange cake.I prepared it in no time and was fully satisfied.Ofcourse,its yet another fool proof cake.The addition of orange zest gives wonderful aroma to the cake,which you can feel while cooking  the cake itself.Condesed milk gives extraordinary texture and taste to the cake.Our family was fully satisfied with the outcome.The original recipe was from here.

* Take a mixing bowl,add butter and sugar.Beat it well.
* Now add the orange juice,lemon juice, condensed milk,vanills extract  and beat them nicely.
* Now slowly add the dry ingredients and mix it with a spatula.Don't beat after adding the flour,if not the cake will not rise properly.

* Now sprinkle the orange zest evenly on the cake and scald .
* Take a pan ,butter it well.Sprinkle some flour on top of the butter.This is a very essential step for making the cake to  rise well.
* Now pour the cake mix and tap it to spread evenly.
* Bake for 30 mins or untill the tooth pick comes out clean.
* Transfer it to a wire rack and cool completely.
* Cut and enjoy the cake.

Note:
