Orange cashew cake with chopped nuts inside and chocolate Icing

Special cake for the special one :D

On my husband's birthday I was thinking about which cake to bake. This time also didnt want to go by any recipe and wanted to try something by my own and finally we both (me and my son) decided to bake this super yummilicious cake for papa.





Ingredients required:

All purpose flour (Maida)- 1 cup
Wheat flour (Atta) -1/2 cup
Baking powder -1/4 tspn
Baking soda -1/4 tspn

Sieve the above ingredients through a narrow meshed sieve. And repeat the process twice as it helps in giving better aeration to the flour and thus making the cake softer.

Chopped nuts - 1/4 cup
Mix well the nuts with the flour. Keep it aside.

Other ingredients required are

Orange juice fresh -1 cup ( of one big orange). I have used the fresh one to get better taste
Sugar -1 & 1/2 cup powdered
Egg -3 numbers (separate the yellow and white)
Curd -1/2 cup + milk 1/2 cup (Total 1 cup)
Butter -100 gms
Cheese -50 gms
Orange food colour -less than 1/4 tspn
Orange essence - less than 1/4 tspn .

For icing :
The ingredients required are Icing sugar, butter, fresh cream and chocolate bar. Melt the chocolate bar in milk and make it thicker and can use. the quantity you can use as required.

Mix butter + cheese and powdered sugar and beat well till fluffy.  Add egg yellow and beat it again. Add curd + milk and again beat. Add the food essence and beat again. Finally add the food colour and egg white. beat again till light . fold in the sieved batter and mix till no lumps are there.

Grease the pan , dust with  flour and pour the batter and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degree for 30 minutes or till done.
