Eggless Orange Almond Pecan Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pound Cake<\/strong> \u2026 this pound cake is everything good, actually JUST TOO GOOD! I used to bake a really nice orange pound cake when I used to bake with eggs. It had a wonderful crumb and each bite was moist and satisfying. One bite of this eggless pound cake and the memories just came tumbling in. It was exactly as I remembered, ONLY BETTER!!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Addictive, bursting with flavour, rich , indulgent, moist, great dense crumb, sliced beautifully, kept well, travelled well too. It\u2019s not often that you find so much good in a single cake but this one certainly ticked all the boxes. And oh my, the pecans, cranberries and chocolate chips together do create some sort of magic in there.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always been an endless charm about the quintessential pound cake<\/a><\/strong>, a connection to the years gone by. When I began baking, a pound cake<\/a> was one of the earliest things I\u2019d bake on repeat, the history behind this classic European tea cake making the recipe simple to remember \u2026 a pound of flour, a pound of eggs, a pound of sugar, a pound of butter it sang in my head!<\/em> <\/p>\n

I used to write a blog on the Times of India<\/a><\/strong> eons ago under the pen name of The Rabid Baker<\/a><\/strong> and this particular Wholewheat Coffee Chocolate Chip Pound Cake<\/strong><\/a> was a very popular recipe, one that I baked often, perhaps too often<\/em>. Another favourite was the Wholewheat Almond Buttermilk Pound Cake<\/a><\/strong> which tasted really lovely topped with lightly sweetened cream ad fresh strawberries. <\/p>\n

Other times I\u2019d bake a chocolate pound cake or an orange pound cake that I would always have ready when the kids came home from school. At the time, we travelled to the US often and I carried back a few basic bundt<\/a><\/strong> tins and they were perfect to bake a pound cake<\/a> in. <\/p>\n

Another recipe was the Blueberry Lime Buttermilk Pound Cake<\/a><\/strong> that I baked occasionally as a very special treat since anything blueberry<\/a><\/strong> was hard to come by back in the day. Not so now, since blueberries in every form are very easily available here now \u2013 fresh, frozen, dried, dehydrated \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The years went by and my favourite pound cake<\/a> got forgotten because I stopped baking with eggs. Then last year I made an Eggless Pistachio Cranberry Loaf Cake<\/a><\/strong>, essentially a pound cake, and I was smitten! I feel in love with the gentle flavours, the rich delicate crumb, and addictive indulgent taste.<\/p>\n

Natural orange as a flavour in cakes<\/a><\/strong> is something I truly love, something so easily achievable. This winter, the local bazaar has been flooded with carts of fresh, juicy oranges, called \u2018kinnow\/keenu<\/a>\u2018<\/strong> <\/em>locally, a high yield mandarin orange hybrid. I thought instantly of the Eggless Strawberry Orange Tart Cake<\/a><\/strong> that I had made a while ago that was bursting with fresh flavour. I definitely had ORANGE on my mind<\/em><\/strong> and I wanted to try something new.<\/p>\n

I was juicing oranges that morning and decided to bake an orange pound cake since I always like to use the zest. I was pretty excited already at the batter stage when I saw all these flavors and that delicate orange colour come together. I knew this was going to taste good and I wasn\u2019t wrong! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
\"Eggless\"Eggless<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Once the cake<\/a><\/strong> cooled down completely, I gingerly sliced it not sure what to expect. It tasted amazing, quite addictive actually. As kids, we used to get something called a sliced Britannia cake<\/em><\/strong> in the local market. It was thinly sliced, gently sweet and quite buttery. One bite of the sliced eggless orange pound cake and it took me back to my childhood.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Now that I\u2019ve been baking cakes for too many years, I can well imagine what might have gone into that Britannia Cake! Compared to that cake, my honest to goodness, from scratch, home baked version was a million times tastier! <\/strong>Prettier too. The cake disappeared pretty soon and I was back to juicing oranges and baking pound cakes on repeat!<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s this particular version, the Eggless Orange Almond Pecan Cranberry Chocolate Chip Pound Cake, that I found we loved the most. It has a bit of everything, almost like a Christmas fruit cake<\/a><\/strong> and as delicious! There\u2019s something about the pairing of orange<\/a>, chocolate chips<\/a>, cranberries<\/a> and pecans<\/a> that makes the taste buds come alive. Fresh, exciting flavours, a wonderful bite to the already rich crumb, absolute simple goodness!<\/strong> It\u2019s love at every bite honestly, do try the recipe!<\/em><\/p>\n
