FRESH ORANGEY~FRUIT CAKE (Low fat!)

An extremely refreshing, light fruit cake which is low fat too, only about a half cup oil is used for 2 cakes ,so that makes it 1/4 cup per cake!, the best part is that it is so quick- no elaborate beating ,folding, just dump everything into one large bowl it is ready to go into the oven!!

A nice post Bindiya! I never could develop a taste fr lemon cake, but I think oranges might just work, esp when you have that "low-fat" tag next to it:)
