Hi Everyone,

I am so excited to share this vegan orange cake recipe, that is sooo delicious!

We will start off with the wet mix and you will need the following ingredients for that:
– 3 oranges (2 orange zests & 3/4 cup of orange juice)
– 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut
– 1/2 cup of soy milk
– 1 tbsp of lemon juice
– 80ml of olive oil
– 2 tbsp of agave syrup
– 1 tsp of vanilla extract

Get all your ingredients into a food processor and blend for 30 seconds, so the desiccated coconut gets nicely blended in.

For your dry components you will need the following ingredients:
– 2 cups of regular flour (optional 2 extra tablespoons can be added)
– 1,5 tbsp of baking powder
– 1 tbsp of baking soda
– 10 tbsp of light brown sugar

Sift the flour and add the rest of the ingredients into a bowl and whisk it so it mixes all evenly. now you can add the dry component and mix it together, but be careful, don’t overmix it as your cake won’t bake properly.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F) and put the cake on the middle rack and bake it for 25 minutes.

In the meantime, you can make the glazing, and you will only need:
– 1/2 cup of orange juice
– 8 tbsp of sugar
– 1,5 tbsp of corn starch
– 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

Put the orange juice and sugar into a saucepan and cook it on medium heat. Boil it for 5 minutes and then add 2 tbsp of water to the corn starch, mix it and then add to the saucepan. Cook it for another 5 minutes and let it cool down a bit.

Once your cake is done let it cool down and then you are ready to pour the glazing over the cake!

You can optionally serve it with some caramelized mandarines, just cut 6 of them in half and place them in a baking tray – put some sugar on top – and bake it in the oven for 25 minutes at 180°C (360°F).

You are ready to serve it, Enjoy!!
