Vegan Orange Blossom Loaf Cake

• 6 Tablespoon (88mL) aquafaba
• 3/4 cup (150g) organic cane sugar
• 1 1/2 cups (170g) vegan butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon orange zest from 2 oranges
• 1/4 cup (56g) fresh orange juice
• 2 tsp orange blossom extract
• 1/2 cup (113g) plant-based milk
• 2 cups (240g) flour
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder

Orange Glaze

• 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
• 1 Tablespoon orange juice
• 1 Tablespoon plant-based milk
• 1 Tablespoon orange zest
• pinch of kosher salt

1. Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit
2. Zest the oranges in a small bowl and set aside
3. In a small mixing bowl with a handheld mixer, whisk the aquafaba for about one minute till it gets foamy. Set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar with a handheld mixer till well combined.
5. Stir in vanilla, orange zest, orange juice, orange blossom extract, milk, and aquafaba. The mixture will look chunky, like cottage cheese.
6. Add flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Stir till combined.
7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until you don't see more flour. Don't overmix!
8. Pour the mixture into a standard lined loaf pan and put it in the oven for 35-45 mins. Take the cake out of the oven when the edges begin to turn golden brown: and there isn't any wet batter when inserting a toothpick or fork in the center of the cake.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 mins, and then take it out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles. Cool the cake for another 20 minutes. Drizzle the glaze on top of the entire cake or o individual slices, and enjoy!
