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.
