Orange & Ginger Pomegranate Cake
November 16, 2023

Orange & Ginger Pomegranate Cake

Pomegranate Cake with notes of orange & ginger makes for a delicious fall-winter recipe around the holiday times that is super easy to make. This fluffy, moist cake is lightly sweet and bursting with flavor. Not too bad for a plant-based recipe at that!

Ingredients

Serves: 8-12 Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Orange & Ginger Pomegranate Cake

  • 6 Tbs non-dairy butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 heaping Tbs flax seed + 2-3 Tbs warm water
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Meanwhile, seed your pomegranate, placing the arils on a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to remove some of the moisture.
  3. Then, generously grease an 8 or 9 inch cake pan with the non-dairy butter or cooking spray.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Then, in a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Turn down the mixer and slowly add in the flax egg, non-dairy milk, and vanilla.
  6. Reduce to the lowest speed and gradually mix in the dry ingredient mixture until the batter is formed, free of lumps.
  7. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Then, spread the pomegranate arils on top of the batter and lightly press them into the cake. 
  9. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes at350°F. Then reduce to 325°F and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before cutting.
  11. Best enjoyed fresh, but you may store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

April 25, 2023

Dairy-Free Chocolate Orange-Spice Cake

Dairy-Free Chocolate Orange-Spice Cake is a delicious and rich chocolate cake with a hint of spice and orange essence. This lightly-sweetened, dairy-free cake aims to please all crowds!

Ingredients

Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake Batter

  • 2 cups non-dairy milk
  • 2/3 cup coconut or olive oil
  • 2 tsp orange juice
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 heaping cups of unbleached, all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp five spice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Chocolate Orange-Spice Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz Go Veggie vegan cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup smart balance, softened
  • 1 tsp fresh orange juice
  • Zest of one orange (plus extra for decorating)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp five spice
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Non-dairy chocolate chips (for topping)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by spraying with a nonstick cooking spray or lightly rubbing with a dash of olive oil and a paper towel.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Create a well in the center, then add the non-dairy milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and orange juice.
  4. Gradually cream together all ingredients, ensuring the batter is smooth, creamy, and lump-free. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between your two baking pans and place in the oven.
  6. Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes or until the center of your cake comes out clean when pricked with a toothpick.

Preparing the frosting

  1. While the cake is baking, combine softened smart balance and vegan cream cheese in a mixing bowl.
  2. Use a mixer to cream together until fluffy. Then, mix in the cocoa powder, spices, zest, and orange juice. Add half of the powdered sugar and cream ingredients together until smooth.
  3. Taste and add more powdered sugar as desired. Frosting should be smooth and creamy.
  4. Place frosting in the fridge.

Assembling the cake

  1. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  2. Once the cake has, add a thick layer of cream cheese frosting between the top and bottom layers for a 2-layer cake.
  3. Then, use a butter knife to apply the frosting on the top and sides of the cake.
  4. Decorate the cake with chocolate chips and orange zest.
  5. Serve and enjoy!

For storage, keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. If you have excess frosting, you may add that to the cut side of the cake to retain its moisture and freshness.
