I love this cake. Most people aren’t all that thrilled with the idea of an orange cake, but I’ve never had anyone NOT like it once they tried it. It goes really well with vanilla icing or maple icing.
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease or line with parchment paper a standard round or 8 x 8 inch square pan.
In a large bowl whisk together:
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
In a medium mixing bowl (or I use a large measuring cup) mix together:
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until smooth. Pour into cake pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

YUMMMMM!!!!!! Are you making some for tonight??
OK get this – I am going to work on a modification for this cake that makes it into an orange marmalade cake! I’ll keep you posted…
OK, so I made this tonight. It was great (and sooo simple! Just what I need). I used whole wheat flour… and with that mod, I’d use less oil next time, as it was a bit too dense for my taste… Keep on posting… what about that great recipe you have for baked tofu or that brocoli and sesame salad? You should start thinking… cookbook!!
K… that wasn’t Larry who posted the last comment (as you prolly figured); twas me! Oopsy.
OK, I am trying this now with orange marmalade instead of orange juice. I ended up adding the juice of half an orange, because the consistency wasn’t right…I’ll update with results – fingers crossed!
Verdict is: the taste is good, the consistency is off. I have an old, pioneer recipe for jamcake (I made it just last week), and in future I will use that recipe when I want a marmalade cake.
However, my family is usually happy to be on the receiving end of my food experiments…so no worries!

I replaced the sugar with a mix of honey and agave and cut back on it a bit. Even my non-vegan family loved it. I’m so happy to find a vegan cake that actually is moist and has flavor. Thx!!

I’m very glad this is the first recipe that comes up when I type in “vegan orange cake” on google. It’s in the oven now and looks and smells fantastic!
I’ve just made this cake, but it went brown within 10 minutes and it’s just not cooking in the middle, I re-checked my ingredients and they were all correct!
I do think its a temperature problem.. its 350 i think so maybe you put your cake on 350C instead!!

This was a really brilliant recipe – maybe it was first timers’ luck but it came out beautifully. Thank you!
I didn’t have any non-balsamic vinegar, so I just left it out, and actually it didn’t seem to miss it.

this looks really good!
What kind of vinegar do you use? Apple cider? White?
.
Thinking of making this for my daughters first birthday
I use regular old white vinegar. Apple cider would work too. I think I even used red wine vinegar once.
