Vegan Orange Loaf Cake Recipes

VEGAN ORANGE LOAF CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/gas mark 4. Grease an approx 11.5 x 21.5 cm / 4.5 x 8.5 in loaf tin (2lb loaf tin) and line it with baking parchment.
• Sift the flour, cornflour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl then whisk in the ground almonds, sugar and salt.
• In a jug whisk together the orange juice and zest, vegan yogurt, vegan milk, olive oil and orange extract.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a balloon whisk until no dry lumps remain. Be careful not to overbeat the batter as that can make the cake tough.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for about 1 hour until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the tin for 20 minutes then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
• Once the cake is cool, place the chopped chocolate and the coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Do not let the base of the bowl touch the water.
• Stir until the chocolate is just melted then remove it from the heat. Do not let it get too hot or it may sieze.
• Allow it to cool and thicken slightly then pour the chocolate over the top of the cake and serve.

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).
