My plan is to make one cake every day, for as long as possible. I'm not sure how long this will last, but I will try and post the recipes of the cakes I make, and the reviews my flatmates give the cakes. It should be fun, and butterful.

Cake 11, Vegan Orange and Chocolate (explicit content)

So I finally found that cake cookbook, and I'm making the only vegan one in it. It's quite similar to the other vegan one I made, but I'm following one of their variations (there are enough of these for the book to be called "500 Cakes"). 

Chocolate Fudge Cake (vegan) Orange variation

100g flour (about 3/5 cup)
3/4 tsp baking soda
4 Tb cocoa powder
130g sugar (just under 2/3 C)
160 ml water (about 2/3 cup, replace with orange juice)
4 Tb vegetable oil 
1 Tb white wine vinegar
(grated rind of one orange)

Preheat oven to 180 C, and line a 20cm tin. 
Sift flour, baking soda and cocoa into a bowl, then stir in the sugar. Pour in the oil, vinegar, juice and rind, and stir. Pour into the tin and bake for about 25mins. 

This could be interesting with a bit of Cointreau in the cake or icing. 
This is a pretty awesome vegan cake, it's very soft and fudgy. Mmmmmm.




And... this was our cheerleader......

    thanks! it was pretty good - i used orange juice (straight out of the orange) combined with icing sugar and a bit of rind. For the chocolate bits I just added cocoa powder to the orange icing.
    It was pretty awesome, but very sweet.
