Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 1 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 3/4 Cup Sugar (You can always modify)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp White vinegar
- 5 tbsp oil
- 1 Cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tsp orange zest
- 3/4 cup fresh cranberries, halved
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
Icing:
- 1 1/2 tubs ready made vegan icing
- 2 tbsp vegan cream cheese
- 1 tsp orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, orange zest, and salt in a greased 8″ square baking dish.
- Make 3 depressions in the dry ingredients – two small and one large. Pour the vinegar and vanilla in each of the two smaller depressions, and the vegetable oil in the large one. This step is imperative as your cake will be more dense and won’t rise.
- Pour the fresh orange juice over the entire thing and mix until smooth. Chop the cranberries in half and dust with flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom. Gently fold in. Don’t over mix.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until browned on the edges and when you push in it bounces back. Make an aluminum foil tent around 25 mins if the top begins to brown too much. Remove from heat and let the cake cool.
- Icing: Throw icing and cream cheese in a standing mixer, and blend until smooth. Once the cake is completely cooled, top with icing.
