Vegan Orange Cake Recipes

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.

VEGAN ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare two 8-inch* (see notes) cake pans by spraying with non-stick spray and lining the bottoms with circles of parchment paper.
• Sift the all purpose flour into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking soda and salt and mix in.
• Add soy milk, oil, vinegar, vanilla extract, orange extract and orange zest and mix it into a batter. Don't overmix.
• Divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cakes comes out clean.
• Let the cakes cool for a few minutes in the pans before removing them from the cake pans and placing on a wire cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
• Prepare your frosting by adding the powdered sugar, vegan butter, salt and orange extract to the bowl of a stand mixer and starting at slow speed, gradually increase speed until the frosting is thick and smooth.
• When the cakes are cooled frost the cake and decorate with orange zest and orange slices around the sides (optional).

ONE BOWL VEGAN ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180ºc. Line a 8 or 9 inch cake pan with parchment, or grease well and dust with flour.
• In a bowl whisk all the dry ingredients until combined well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix until smooth. Pour the batter in the prepared cake pan.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or a toothpick from near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and remove from pan. Cool completely before slicing.
• Add frosting of choice like vegan cream cheese frosting, or with whipped coconut cream and fruit, or make a boozy marmalade glaze.
• For the boozy glaze: Mix a tbsp of liquor in a 1/4 cup of orange or apricot marmalade or preserves of choice. Heat for a few minutes until bubbling. Use as glaze or serve with each slice.
• For a regular glaze: Use a tbsp orange juice mixed with the marmalade, or mix 2 to 3 tbsp orange juice with a 1/3 cup or more powdered sugar.

VEGAN WHOLE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• I recommend weighing the ingredients for this recipe rather than using the cups measurement. Like all of my recipes, this whole orange cake was tested using grams except the baking powder.

VEGAN ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• In a bowl mix all purpose flour, baking powder, icing sugar and vanilla sugar (if using).
• Before juicing oranges grate the peel from one of them. Add to dry ingredients and mix in.
• In another bowl or cup mix vegetable oil and orange juice (2/3 cup) - they don't need to be perfectly combined.
• Add liquid ingredients to dry ones and mix with spatula just enough for the dough to come together. Don't overmix. The dough should be loose and shiny. If you see it's still dry and hard to stir add 2tbsp juice more.
• Place your dough in a loaf tray lined with baking paper. Even the surface using spoon or spatula. Bake in 180°C / 350°F for 40-45 minutes. Your cake is ready when toothpick you poke inside comes out clean.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE ORANGE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Use a little of the Flora Plant Unsalted to butter the base and sides of a deep 23cm cake tin, then line with baking parchment.
• Put the plant milk in a jug and mix in the zest and juice of one orange and the cider vinegar. Leave to thicken slightly for 5 mins.
• Beat 150g of the Flora Plant Unsalted with the caster sugar using an electric whisk for 1 min until creamy, then add the milk mixture, vanilla extract and a small pinch of salt. Sieve in the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Beat again until combined, and scrape into the prepared tin. Bake for 35 mins - 40 mins until risen and firm to the touch, and a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then turn out on a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing, melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring well between each burst, or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water), until smooth. Leave to cool for 5 mins. Whisk the remaining Flora Plant Unsalted (just under 100g) with the icing sugar and zest of the remaining orange for a few mins until creamy, then mix in the cooled chocolate until smooth.
• Put the cooled chocolate cake on a cake stand or plate, and smooth the frosting over the top, spreading it to the sides. Will keep for up to three days in an airtight cake tin. Decorate with more orange zest and chocolate shavings, if you like.
