Whole Wheat Orange Loaf

Whole Wheat Orange Seed Loaf is so aromatic and healthy.

As I was going through my to do list, I saw Orange Poppy seed cake. This cake had enough time in my list, so I decided to make it.

Then checked for the ingredients and realized I didn’t have black poppy seeds 🙁 I had lot of chia seeds, by then I decided to make Orange Chia and white poppy seed cake.

When I was baking this Orange cake, my neighbor friend just sneaked into my kitchen to see what I am baking with Orange. She waited till its baked and had a bite at last. She enjoyed it a lot. Orange cakes are such aromatic when you add fresh orange juice and zest.

The seeds, all over the cake makes it crunchy here and there. Its so interesting, when a cake is crunchy. Don’t you think?

This recipe uses Regular sugar but you can substitute with Brown sugar in equal quantity.

Did You Know??

Chia Seeds deliver a massive amount of nutrition with very few calories. They are rich in fiber, protein and antioxidants.
