Apple And Orange Vegan Loaf Cake Recipes

EASY VEGAN APPLE LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180c/160c fan/350f/gas mark 4.
• Line a 2 lb (900g) loaf tin.
• Measure the milk into a jug and add the lemon juice and set aside.
• Add the apple sauce, vanilla extract and oil to the milk and mix.
• Add the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt) into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the grated apple to the dry ingredients and mix in.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold in until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX!
• Pour the cake batter into the loaf tin and bake for an hour to an hour 10 minutes.
• Check it near the hour mark with a toothpick or skewer in the centre of the cake, if there is no batter on it it's done. If it does, pop it back in for a few minutes.
• Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and continue cooling on a baking rack until cool.
• If you are adding an icing drizzle, add it once the cake is completely cool.
• To make the icing add the ingredients to a small bowl and mix. You can thicken it with a little more icing sugar if you think it needs it.
• Enjoy!

APPLE AND ORANGE VEGAN LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Peel the apple. Cut half of it into small pieces and half into thin slices. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Then add the coconut flakes and the orange zest. Mix well.
• In a measuring jug, squeeze the orange to extract the juice. If the juice from one orange doesn't quite make it to 140 ml, make up the amount with some extra non-dairy milk. Add in the non-dairy milk, vanilla extract and oil. Mix well.
• Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture, then pour in the wet ingredients. Add in the chopped apple pieces and the raisins. Fold and mix gently until a thick batter is obtained. The batter will look quite dry, don't be tempted to add more liquid as the apples will release some moisture into the batter when baked.
• Pour the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Spread it evenly into the pan. Then place the apple slices on top by gently pushing them in to line them in a row.
• Sprinkle with some sugar and cinnamon.
• The baking time will depend on your oven. In my oven, it requires a total of 35 minutes. For best results, bake for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) then lower the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and test with a toothpick or bamboo skewer. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Due to the apples in this cake, the skewer may not be super clean but may have some lightly moist cake crumbs/bits on it. This is fine as long as it is not still a thick sticky batter-like consistency.
• Allow the cake to completely cool in the pan before removing and slicing it.

ORANGE VEGAN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
• Blend orange in the blender until liquified; measure 1 cup orange juice.
• Whisk orange juice, flour, sugar, vegetable oil, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
