Amazing Orange Cake:
Preheat the oven to 180 C
Mix together 1/2 cup maida and 1 cup wheat flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, a big pinch of salt.
Chop 1 medium orange(with skin on but remove seeds and pip)
Put the orange in a blender and blend along with 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp of curd.
Add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup butter melted, 3/4 cup brown sugar(karumbu sakkarai), 1/4 cup white sugar and blend well for 3-4 minutes.
Now add the flour, 1 tbsp water and blend until the flour is just mixed. Do not blend for long.
Pour the batter into a buttered n floured cake pan.
Bake for 25 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
