Simple orange cake

Picipu brought home some  plump oranges. They were sweet and very juicy   She said it cost RM2.00 each.  Alhamdulillah for this bounty.

This morning, there was only one orange left and for everyone to be able enjoy this last fat orange, Hajar and I made a simple orange cake.  I had only 1 egg left and the recipe calls for 2 eggs.  I increased the orange  juice and baking powder and we had a lovely orange cake. Anyway,  less egg is better.
