Do we need an occasion to celebrate ? Atleast I don’t need guess you don’t need too! Made this Eggless Orange Chocolate Marble Cake Frosting ………. soft, delectable, yum, spongy and delicious 🙂 recently bought oranges which were lying in my fridge and I wanted to club orange with chocolate hence made an Orange Chocolate Marble Cake with frosting! I quite relished this spongy textured Orange Chocolate Marble Cake with a hot cup of tea.
I just love baking comes naturally to me as if I was a baker in my past life. My creativity flows while baking and cooking. I knew I wanted a marble cake but an eggless one and soft, well risen, spongy and delicious. So I knew the best replacement for eggs and also had an fair idea how to frost it. Lemme tell you my idea really worked my neighbors loved them.
Yesterday I made dosas, idlis, utappam, chutney and cheese dosa. My hubby loved all of them when I asked him would he like to eat idlis, dosas Or utappam to which he cutely replied all of them little little. I felt I shouldn’t have asked him this. Finally I made some idlis, dosas and uttapam. We relished and enjoyed our meal last night.
Soon I will be posting how to make idlis in microwave it’s super easy, convenient and no fuss. So watch out for next post.

Hi, planning to try this as it looks good. 2 questions: what size is the cake pan? Why do you say to put in fridge? Is it necessary?
maria says
Thanks Dhakshmi 🙂 have made in 6 inches flower pan. I have placed in the fridge so the frosting can be spread easily. I hope this helps you let us know how your cake was?

just a doubt….in case i want to use eggs instead of flax seeds then how many do i use?
maria says
Hi Remya,
You could use 3 eggs instead of flax seeds. Beat them in the mixture one bye one. Hope this helps you!
Thanks,
Maria

Your picture looks so tempting. I really like the shape of your pan and you decorated this nicely. Chocolate and orange do make a good combo. Also I like that you incorporated a little crunch with the flax and sunflower seeds. Your talent for cakes never ceases to amaze me. The best thing too is that they are unique to me here in the US, always glad to find something new and tasty here!
