Recipe: Orange & Almond Tray Cake


This orange cake is a delicious treat served for afternoon tea,  or as a dessert with dairy free icecream, cream or custard. It can be baked in a cake tin, or in a tray, as we have done here. 

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup of (soft) butter substitute

- 1/4 cup of soy milk, or any milk substitute you prefer

- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice

- The equivalent of 2 eggs made with egg replacer

- 3/4 of a cup of caster sugar

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

- 1 1/2 cups of self raising flour. This recipe can be made gluten free however you may require extra flour to achieve the same consistency as gluten free flours can be lighter

- 1 tablespoon of orange zest, or the zest of one orange

- Slivered almonds to decorate

Method: 

- Using a mixer, cream the soft butter and sugar.

 - Add the egg substitute and vanilla and continue to beat.

- Add the orange juice and zest. Beat some more.

- Now add half of the flour and half of the milk and beat, then the remainder of the flour and milk and continue to beat the batter.

- Line your tray with baking paper and pour the batter in. Sprinkle the slivered almonds on top.

- Bake at 180 C for around 40 minutes and check with a skewer to ensure the cake is cooked through.
