Vegan Orange Cake

For some time now I have been playing around with vegan recipes. Orange cake is one of my favourite tea time treats. This cake is delicious and an easy bake.

 A dust of icing sugar is all it needs, although, I do love a nice tangy icing. 

Perhaps a little too much icing - is there such a thing?

It is also easy to adapt to gluten free by substituting gluten free flour, reduce the flour by a quarter of a cup.

Vegan Orange Cake

Ingredients

2 oranges  (boiled until soft and allowed to cool)

1/2 cup non dairy milk

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

3/4 cup grapeseed or other neutral flavoured oil

1 cup caster sugar

2 cups  SR flour or 2 cups plain flour and 1 tablespoon baking powder or 1 3/4 cups gluten free SR flour

Method

Preheat oven to 170 deg C, grease and line base of cake tin or grease the inside of a Bundt tin.

Combine vinegar / lemon juice and non dairy milk and leave for a few minutes.

Cut the oranges into four or smaller pieces and place in a food processor or use a stick blender and process until the orange is a puree.

Add remaining ingredients and mix gently until just combined.

Spoon the cake batter into the prepared tin. Bake until cake is set and starting to shrink away from the sides of the tin, approximately 45 minutes.

Leave the cake in the tin until cool and then turn out onto a cake cooler.

Ice with lemon or orange icing or a drizzle with a watered down icing or glaze
