Welcome to the cake of all dreams! An intense chocolate orange flavour, my vegan Bundt cake is drizzled with a blood orange glaze for the most striking cake, with no compromise on indulgence! The texture is tender and moist all at once for your ultimate chocolate orange dreams!

INGREDIENTS DRY:

• 150 grams plain flour
• 120 grams self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• zest of 2 blood oranges (or regular oranges)

INGREDIENTS WET:

• 175 grams coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• 160 grams dairy free butter
• 160 milliliters dairy free yogurt ( I use coconut yogurt)
• 55 grams cocoa powder
• 60 milliliters hot water
• 180 milliliters coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)

METHOD FOR VEGAN CHOCOLATE ORANGE BUNDT CAKE:

1. Preheat oven to 180c. Grease your bundt tin. Set aside

2. In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together until combined. 
3. In another (smaller) bowl, whisk the cocoa and hot water together.
4. With an electric whisk, cream together butter, sugar and yogurt.
5. Add in half of the flour mixture and cocoa mixture, whisk gently.
6. Add in coconut milk and the remaining flour mixture, whisk until there are no lumps.
7. Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt tin.
8. Bake for 50 -60 mins, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (no wet mixture sticking to it).
9. Remove bundt tin from the oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes.

10. Invert bundt cake onto a wire rack with parchment paper and allow to cool completely before adding the glaze.

METHOD FOR VEGAN CHOCOLATE ORANGE BUNDT CAKE:

1. Add the blood orange juice to the icing sugar and mix together
2. If you want the glaze more runny, add a little more blood orange. If you'd like it thicker, add more powdered icing sugar.
