Citrus Cake

This is a lovely cake and i am proud of it. I have always liked lemon and orange as flavours. They taste so good when applied on cake. Though my family prefers banana better, this warm gooey cake will always remain my favourite.

  INGREDIENTS

Semolina 1 teaspoon
Eggs 3
flour (whole wheat)
butter/oil 1 cup
sugar 1 cup
baking soda 1 standard pinch
baking powder 1 level spoon
Orange or lemon peels
Salt 1 standard pinch
Almond Oil 1 spoon
Orange Juice as per consistency
Vanilla essence 1 spoon
Orange Marmalade 1 tablespoon

Note before Cooking
...................................
Semolina gives your cake a good rough texture, and adds to it a lovely brown color. Some of us are vegetarians, so instead of eggs, a tin of condensed milk will do. Instead of whole wheat, you can even use normal flour, but whole wheat is of course healthier and will give you a dense cake
Fill the cup with butter and oil, since excess butter is never good.
I use a standard cup of sugar, It turns out to be neither to sweet nor less. Just Perfect
All of us use different baking measuring utensils  Maybe my 1 cup is a bit smaller than yours, so use your instincts for that.
Baking Soda and Powder shouldn't be much, there is a chance your cake may end up crazy.
You can choose your flavor of citrus. I prefer Orange because you can add other orange products to it, and it goes with more stuff than lemon does. Dont use marmalade or orange juice if you have chosen lemonn as your flavouring.
Vanilla essence is added to do away with the smell of eggs, though it isnt really required with condensed milk. Add edible almond oil for more flavour.
The consistency of your batter should be just right. It should be a thick liquid.

Procedure
Preheat Oven at 150 C
Beat the eggs. Add vanila essence. Take the flour and sieve it with baking powder and soda. Mix
In a separate bowl, melt butter or oil and add sugar to it. This process is called creaming. Add this mixture to the eggs and flour.
Put orange peels in the batter, if wanted, add orange juice and orange marmalade along with almond oil to enhance the taste.
To the batter, add 1 spoon semolina
Grease cake tin. Fill it halfway with batter.
Place it in the oven and bake for 20 mins. extend time if necessary.
