Chocolate orange cake is a dream, I can promise you that. Admittedly, I was surprised myself how delicious this sponge cake is. I love the combination of oranges and chocolate and have dared to experiment again. Who follows me on Instagram knows that I had actually resolved from January to eat something less sweet. Unfortunately, I threw this resolution overboard again on January 5. I have a good excuse, though, because I want to make delicious recipes for this blog. Exactly for this reason I have to test a lot and of course try out. Then, when there’s such a delicious cake in the kitchen, I just can’t say no.
Chocolate orange cake
Making the cake is easier than you think. Put the baking oil, vegetable milk and raw cane sugar in a bowl and mix well. Add flour, baking powder, bourbon vanilla and orange zest and continue to stir until a fine dough is formed.
I zest the orange peel fresh from an organic orange, which I then fillet. The pulp is then cut into small pieces and added to the batter along with the chocolate drops. Fold once and our raw dough is ready. This also goes straight into a springform pan and is then baked in the oven for 55 minutes until the cake is nicely risen, soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Bake vegan chocolate orange cake
As always, making the cake is quick and easy, this time using my hand mixer. However, you can always use a whisk. I wouldn’t use a high-powered blender because the orange pieces should definitely stay whole. Other than that, there’s really nothing else to consider with this recipe, except that you’ll definitely want to bake it again soon.
TIP: You know those little “Jaffa” softcakes? This cake really tastes confusingly similar.
That’s about it for our cake today. If you don’t feel like chocolate orange cake today, I recommend the following cake creations:
