VEGAN ORANGE CAKE
One 8-inch round cake; 8 to 10 servings
A deeply flavored cake needing only a light dusting of powdered sugar for garnish.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
Whisk together in a large bowl:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Whisk together in a medium bowl until smooth:
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 cup (245g) orange juice
- ⅓ cup (70g) vegetable or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Fold the orange juice mixture into the flour mixture just until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Slide a thin knife around the cake, invert it, peel off the parchment paper, and turn the cake right side up on the rack to cool completely. Dust with:
- Powdered sugar
