Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit.

Zest the oranges in a small bowl and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, whisk the aquafaba for about one minute till it gets foamy. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with a handheld mixer till well combined.

Stir in vanilla, orange zest, orange juice, orange blossom extract, milk, and aquafaba. The mixture will look chunky, like cottage cheese.

Add flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Stir till combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until you don't see more flour. Don't overmix!

Pour the mixture into a standard lined loaf pan and put it in the oven for 35-45 mins. Take the cake out of the oven when the edges begin to turn golden brown: and there isn't any wet batter when inserting a toothpick or fork in the center of the cake.

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 mins, and then take it out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles. Cool the cake for another 20 minutes. Drizzle the glaze on top of the entire cake or o individual slices, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Orange Zest Flavor 🍊
Zest your oranges before juicing them, and add half the zest to the dry ingredients and half to the glaze for layered citrus intensity throughout the cake.
Aquafaba Whipping Technique 🥚
Whip aquafaba for 3-5 minutes until stiff peaks form, then fold gently into the batter in two additions to maintain airiness and achieve a tender, fluffy crumb.
Orange Blossom Extract Balance ✨
Start with half the recommended orange blossom extract, taste a small sample batter, then adjust to your preference—it's potent and easy to over-do, resulting in a soapy flavor.
Room Temperature Ingredients Matter 🌡️
Let vegan butter and plant-based milk sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to ensure proper emulsification and a more tender, evenly-textured cake.
Glaze Application Timing 🍯
Apply the orange juice glaze while the cake is still warm but out of the pan—the warm crumb absorbs the glaze beautifully, creating a moist interior without sogginess.
