Orange Cake

Jillian Glenn
This glazed orange cake is super moist, easy-to-make, and absolutely delicious! It's flavored with maple syrup and cinnamon. This recipe is vegan and gluten-free friendly but no one would ever guess it.

How To Make This Orange Cake

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the almond or oat milk, orange juice, maple syrup, melted butter, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and vanilla. Then, mix in the all-purpose flour until a batter forms.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until it's golden on top. Check the center for doneness by using a toothpick.
  • While the loaf is baking, use an electric hand mixer to mix the orange glaze ingredients. Pour the glaze over the warm loaf & enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to about 4 days.
To freeze, store it unglazed wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed into an airtight container like a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months. To thaw, let it sit in the fridge overnight and prepare your glaze on the day that you are ready to serve it.
