You need no excuse to whip up this zesty Easy Orange Drizzle Cake. It’s perfect for every occasion, especially Christmas and the whole family will love it. There will only be crumbs left! It is egg-free and dairy-free and one of my favourite vegan cake recipes so far.
I’ve always enjoyed citrus desserts, I find that the tanginess of lemon matched with the sponge and the drizzle is a delight. Moist, tart yet sweet, this is sure to spike your tastebuds and leave a refreshing taste on your tongue. I usually make a Lemon Drizzle cake as Lemons are easy to come by in our neighbourhood (I refuse to pay for them!) But I had an abundance of oranges this week I needed to use, so what better way to use them than to make an Orange Drizzle Cake!

TIPS FOR MAKING EASY ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE
- It is important to pour the drizzle icing on top of the warm cake so the juices run into the sponge, keeping it moist.
- Sprinkle the zest over the top of the cake after drizzling
- Do not over-mix your cake as it will be heavy and won’t rise as well.
HOW I MADE THIS EASY ORANGE DRIZZLE CAKE
- First, I set out all my ingredients, ready to measure and preheated my oven.
- Then I made up my Vegan egg mixture (in replacement of 2 normal eggs) and added it to my bowl along with the butter and sugar. using a hand whisk, I blended the ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
- I folded in my sifted flour and then once it was combined, I stirred in my Soy milk. You can use any dairy-free alternative.
- The Cake is ready for the preheated oven. I used my spatula to add any remaining mixture that was in my bowl into the cake pan.
- While my cake was in the oven, I whipped up my Drizzle mixture.
