Sometimes you just need a special looking cake and our Vegan Orange Bundt cake fits the bill. A Bundt tin makes for a spectacular looking dessert.
Orange is a great change from chocolate, and doesn’t need much in the way of decoration – a dusting of icing sugar should do. The syrup has a hit of triple sec in it which adds a glorious jammy texture to the cake.

Orange Bundt Cake
Time for a grown-up, occasion cake
Ingredients
- 9 tbsp Dairy-Free Margarine
- 1 1/3 Cups Caster Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 tsp Orange Extract
- 1 Cup Orange Juice
- 1 tsp Cider Vinegar
- 3 Cups Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 5 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 3/4 Cups Mashed Orange
Syrup
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 1/2 Cup Caster Sugar
- 4 tbsp Triple Sec
- Juice and Zest of one Orange
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170º, 340º
- First off you need to boil an orange for about an hour until soft. Then whizz in a food processor until you have orange mush. Save the water for the syrup.
- Now make the syrup by adding 1/2 of the orange water, sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, zest and Triple Sec to a pan. Bring to a boil and boil for about 20 minutes or until reduced by half and thickened. Put to one side to cool.
- Cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, vanilla, orange extract and vinegar. Give a quick stir. Add in the orange juice and mashed orange and mix. You’ll have a thick batter.
- Fill the cake tin about 2/3rds full. Smooth out the top.
- Bake on the middle shelf for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then invert onto a wire rack to cool further.
- While still warm poke the cake with a skewer to make small holes and pour ¼ cup of the syrup over the cake to soak in. Serve the rest on the side with ice cream.
- You now have a wonderfully moist, flavoursome cake. Dust with icing sugar and decorate with a bit of peel if you like.
