Orange Olive Oil Loaf Cake

Hope you all had good week end. Mine went well. I was little bit busy. Hence I was not able to prepare and shoot any of the recipes that I cooked last weekend.

I have few recipes in drafts and I will be posting them hereafter when I don’t get time to shoot new recipes. I want to post this citrus flavoured cake in my blog for a long time and now I am finally doing it. I have adapted this cake from US Masala. Thanks to Puja for the wonderful cake. It came out super soft and moist.
