Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chocolate Orange Cake with Drizzle
INGREDIENTS
Dry- 1 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (Vancouver Island Salt Co.)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Wet
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey (Windriver Farms)
- 1/3 cup juice from 1 large orange
- zest from one large orange
- 1/2-3/4 cup vegan dark chocolate, chopped
For the Drizzle:
- Melted Homemade Chocolate (option to purchase vegan dark chocolate)
- 1/4 C - honey (Windriver Farms)
- 1/4 C - cocoa butter (Harmonic Arts)
- 1/4 C - cacao powder (Harmonic Arts)
- Add 1-3 tbsp coconut milk for consistency
- 1/2 C Orange Olive Oil (Evoolution)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease your cake pan with coconut oil. You can use any 8-inch cake or bundt pan or an 8×4 loaf pan!
- In a medium bowl, add all of your dry ingredients and whisk until all is incorporated.
- In another bowl, add all of your wet ingredients, except the chocolate and whisk until combined and a little frothy.
- Using a spatula, fold dry ingredients into your wet ingredients until all flours are incorporated.
- Then fold in your chopped chocolate or chips.
- Pour batter into your prepared pan and spread it out evenly with your spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until your tester comes out clean. I cook mine at 32 minutes every time I make it and its perfect, but it always depends on your oven!
- Remove from the oven and cool completely before removing and make your drizzle while cooling.
- In a saucepan, add your orange olive oil and heat until it reaches a very light simmer on low heat.
- Add your chocolate and let sit for 5-8 minutes without stirring on low heat.
- Once you notice your chocolate getting melty combine with a spatula and remove from heat so it doesn’t curdle.
- Pour your drizzle over your cake once completely cooled and removed from the pan.
- Eat while still warm or when drizzle hardens, both are delicious!
Enjoy!
