- 4 Tbsps orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp orange zest
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- enough unsweetened plant milk to make it spreadable consistency
Instructions:
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F and have an 8x8-inch silicone baking form handy.
- Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl or a blender. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Add more milk if needed.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking form and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack.
For the Frosting:
- Pour out the soaking water from the cashews.
- Combine all frosting ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spread the frosting evenly on the cake, let set. Cut into squares and serve immediately, store in a sealed container in the fridge for a couple of days or freeze.
Note: If you would rather make cupcakes, pour the batter into a 12-cupcake silicone form, and bake in a °F oven for 18 minutes.
