Check out this delicious and healthy orange cake with a chocolate ganache.

Recipe:

DRY

3 cups almond flour
1 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp oat flour (I use organic glyphosate-free oats that I grind in the blender)
3 tsp baking powder
1.5 tsp baking soda

WET

3/4 cup orange juice
1.5 cups pitted Medjool dates
1.5 cups plant-based milk
2.5 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp orange zest

Chocolate Ganache

1 cup unsweetened chocolate chips
1 cup plant milk
½ cup date sugar

Optional:
Fresh orange slices, for garnish

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

DRY INGREDIENTS

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine.

WET INGREDIENTS

In a blender combine dates, plant milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Whisk in orange zest.

FINISHING THE BATTER

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix to combine.

Pour batter into a parchment-lined 9 “ angel food cake pan and smooth top.

GET IN THE OVEN

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes and reduce oven temperature to 325 F. Continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until edges are browned and top it “firm” when pressed gently.

Allow to completely cool.

Prepare the ganache:

In a double boiler, heat and melt the unsweetened chocolate, add plant milk and whisk until smooth. Add date sugar and whisk until smooth.

Pour ganache over the top of the cake. Optionally garnish with fresh orange slices. Enjoy!
