They were quite moist and I flavoured the orange and chocolate batters separately.<\/p>\n<p>I used soymilk in this cake; I\u2019ve had a bit of soy in cakes lately and it hasn\u2019t affected me so far! Could my intolerance to soy gradually disappear? I hope so! Probably the fact that I haven\u2019t had any soy products for a long time has immunized my body against whatever substance I can\u2019t tolerate in the soy. Well, I won\u2019t get excited too soon though.<\/p>\n<p>I made mini cakes and 2 slightly bigger cakes but I\u2019ve adjusted the recipe to yield just 8 mini cakes. If you are using muffin tins, you might get more. I baked them in 10 cm or 3 inches diameter ramekins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients (8 mini cakes)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Orange batter:<\/p>\n<p>Dry mix:<br \/>\n1\u00bc cup self-raising flour<br \/>\n\u00be teaspoon baking soda<br \/>\n\u2153 cup demerara sugar<br \/>\nPinch salt<br \/>\n1 tablespoon orange zest (grated from 1 orange)<br \/>\n\u00be teaspoon turmeric (optional if you want a yellowy\/orangey colour)<\/p>\n<p>Wet mix:<br \/>\n75 ml melted margarine (I just popped the marg in the microwave until just melted but not boiled!)<br \/>\n75 ml soy milk (I would think other non dairy milk would be fine too, but I\u2019ve never tried it)<br \/>\n75 ml orange juice (from one orange)<br \/>\n1 teaspoon vanilla essence<br \/>\n2 tablespoons vinegar<br \/>\nChocolate batter:<\/p>\n<p>Dry mix:<br \/>\n1\u00bc cup self-raising flour<br \/>\n2 tablespoons cocoa powder<br \/>\n\u00be teaspoon baking soda<br \/>\n\u2153 cup demerara sugar<br \/>\nPinch salt<\/p>\n<p>Wet mix:<br \/>\n75 ml melted margarine (I just popped the margarine in the microwave until just melted but not boiled!)<br \/>\n150 ml soy milk (I would think other non dairy milk would be fine too, but I\u2019ve never tried it)<br \/>\n1 teaspoon vanilla essence<br \/>\n2 tablespoons vinegar<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Preheat oven at 180 degrees Celsius.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix the ingredients for the orange batter and chocolate batter separately in two bowls:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For each, add the vinegar to the soy milk and let stand for a while.<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile mix all the dry ingredients. Then add the rest of the wet ingredients to the soy milk and vinegar mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Stir gently and thoroughly mix all ingredients together.<\/li>\n<li>Pour an alternate layer of chocolate and white batter mix into the greased ramekins or cup cake tins. (If you want a marble effect, you could slightly mix the batter with a fork, swirling around. I left mine just layered).<\/li>\n<li>Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here they are unglazed. They taste great even without any icing!<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/choco-orange_cake_plain.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/veganlovlie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/choco-orange_cake_plain.jpg\" class=\" sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Chocolate Orange Cake\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>For the glazing:<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate chips<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate icing:<br \/>\n50 g \u2013 75 g dark vegan chocolate broken to pieces<br \/>\n2-3 tablespoons water<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place chocolate and water in bowl and microwave for 2 minutes or less until chocolate starts melt.<\/li>\n<li>Remove and stir vigorously to mix the water thoroughly to obtain a smooth pouring consistency chocolate sauce.
