Equipment

  • 1 8 inch baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 240 grams spelt flour (approx. 2 cups)(or sub regular all purpose flour)
  • 55 grams almond flour (approx. ½ cup)
  • 140 grams high quality extra virgin olive oil (approx. ⅔ cup)
  • 160 grams freshly squeezed orange juice (approx. ⅔ cup)
  • 160 grams plant based milk (approx. ⅓ cup)(I used almond milk)
  • tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 150 grams coconut sugar (approx. ¾ cup)
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/175C and grease an 8-inch pan.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk together the olive oil, orange juice and zest, vanilla extract, plant based milk, apple cider vinegar and coconut sugar.
  • Mix the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in another mixing bowl. Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the mixed wet ingredients. With a spatula mix it all until just combined.
  • Pour the batter in the greased pan and bake it for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean without any wet batter attached to it.
  • Let the cake cool off for 10 minutes, then run a butter knife along the edges and carefully flip it over onto a plate and back over onto a cooling rack.

Optional:

  • Once the cake has cooled off completely, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar.
