Tip:-

If you don’t have cream cheese then you can make a glaze with orange juice and icing sugar. Take 1 cup icing sugar and add a tablespoon of orange juice at a time and mix it well until you get a nice runny pouring consistency glaze.

For sugarfree cake, you can add palms(khajur) instead of sugar.
