Instructions
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!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Master Aquafaba Whipping 🥚Chill aquafaba for 30 minutes before whipping, and add a pinch of cream of tartar to stabilize the foam—this creates the perfect light, fluffy crumb that mimics traditional eggs.
- Bloom Orange Blossom Extract 🌸Mix orange blossom extract with a tablespoon of warm plant-based milk before adding to batter to distribute the delicate floral flavor evenly and prevent concentrated pockets.
- Double Your Zest Impact 🍊Reserve half your orange zest for the glaze instead of using it all in the batter—this adds a vibrant fresh citrus note on top that brightens the final presentation.
- Room Temperature Ingredients Win 🌡️Let vegan butter, plant-based milk, and aquafaba sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before mixing to ensure proper emulsification and a tender, even crumb structure.
- Glaze at the Golden Moment ✨Apply the powdered sugar glaze when the cake is still slightly warm but completely cooled on top—this allows it to seep into the crumb while creating a beautiful semi-set finish.
