This vegan orange olive oil cake is studded with bittersweet chocolate and topped with an orange juice glaze! Super moist and packed with orange flavor, this cake is a light and easy to prepare dessert!
Ingredients
2 cups white whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch sea salt
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
¾ cup cane sugar + 1 tsp, divided
½ tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp orange zest
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
⅓ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
⅔ cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add in olive oil, ¾ cup sugar, vanilla extract, almond milk, orange zest, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until well mixed.
With a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, incorporate chopped chocolate into the mixture.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes in preheated oven, removing when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean with no wet, undercooked batter.
Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine orange juice and remaining 1 tsp sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, until the sugar dissolves.
Pour orange juice mixture over warm loaf and let cool for another 10-20 minutes before removing from pan and serving.
