Vegan Orange Cake

Prepare the Cake Batter Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the orange juice, vegetable oil, vinegar, and orange zest. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Baking the Cake Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Orange Glaze In a saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest over low heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the glaze thickens slightly.

Glaze the Cake Once the cake is cooled, pour the orange glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes.

Serve Garnish the cake with orange slices and fresh mint leaves if desired. Dust with confectioners' sugar for an extra touch. Slice and serve the delicious vegan orange cake! Enjoy!
