Date & Orange Sheet Cake (Vegan)
An easy one step vegan data and orange sheet cake. Bung it all into a food processor or blender. Whizz and bake!
Servings: 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 100 g dried dates - snipped into pieces and covered in boiling water and left to soak
- 350 g Plain Flour
- 225 g Sugar - I use soft dark brown for colour and flavour but any would work
- 100 g Cooking oil - Sunflower or rape/canola
- Zest one large orange - finely grated
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- Pinch salt
- 60 g golden syrup
Instructions
- Drain the dates, reserving the soaking water, make the volume of the date water up to 225ml.
- Place all the ingredients into a bowl or your stand mixer and whizz until you have a smooth golden brown batter.
- Pour into 8” square pan lined with greaseproof paper (if needed) and bake at GM4/180C for about 25 – 30 mins until risen and a cocktail stick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Cut into squares and dust with icing sugar.
