This Vegan Chocolate Orange Cake is the perfect treat! With layers of moist chocolate sponge and a luscious chocolate-orange mousse, it\u2019s hard to believe this dessert is oil-free and sweetened with date sugar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Chocolate and orange\u2014a classic pairing that never goes out of style. The rich depth of dark chocolate<\/strong> harmonizes beautifully with the bright, tangy notes of orange<\/strong>, creating a flavor combination that truly shines in this vegan chocolate cake with chocolate-orange mousse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best part? This recipe is completely oil-free<\/strong>, and the sponge is naturally sweetened with date sugar<\/strong>. It\u2019s not only a delight for the palate but also a thoughtful choice for more mindful indulgence.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n Before you begin, gather all the ingredients needed for the oil-free vegan chocolate sponge. The chocolate mousse will be prepared once the sponge is baked and cooled, so you can leave the silken tofu in the fridge until it\u2019s time to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to substitute wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend. This tweak makes your cake not just vegan but also gluten-free\u2014an ideal way to cater to various dietary preferences in one delicious treat!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n This cake consists of 3 elements<\/strong>: The chocolate sponge<\/strong>, the chocolate-orange mousse <\/strong>and the ganache<\/strong>. Preparation is a little more time-consuming, so allow enough time for the individual elements to cool and set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, refrigerate the cake for 1.5 to 2 hours to let the mousse set completely. Once set, place the second layer of cake on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, drizzle the simple 2-ingredient chocolate ganache, made with milk and chocolate, over the chocolate-orange cake. Then, it\u2019s ready to dig in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sieve, sieve, sieve!<\/strong> Don\u2019t skip this step\u2014it\u2019s key to a fluffy cake. Sift all the dry ingredients like your cake\u2019s fluffiness depends on it (spoiler: it does).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Timing is everything.<\/strong> Planning a showstopper for a special occasion? Start midday the day before<\/em>. Bake the cake, let it chill over lunch, then tackle the mousse\u2014it needs time to set its magic. Pop the whole cake in the fridge overnight. Want to impress guests the same<\/em> afternoon? Start in the morning, bright and early! Procrastinators, beware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Orange juice:<\/strong> You\u2019ll need the juice of 2-3 fresh oranges. No fresh ones handy? Bottled juice will do the trick\u2014no judgment here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Melting the chocolate:<\/strong> Go old-school with a bain-marie, or embrace modern convenience and zap it in the microwave in 30-second bursts. Either way, avoid burning it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fancy some flair?<\/strong> Add orange zest and grated chocolate on top. Your cake deserves to dress to impress!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n The cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days\u2014assuming it doesn\u2019t disappear sooner!<\/p> <\/div> A firm tofu won\u2019t give the mousse the same fluffy, creamy texture. I haven\u2019t tried it myself, but you might be able to substitute silken tofu with a mix of half firm tofu and half plant-based milk.<\/p> <\/div> I wouldn\u2019t recommend using a much larger tin, as the cake will turn out too flat to slice in half. But, if you prefer, you can also simply spread the chocolate-orange mousse over the whole, uncut cake. Alternatively, you can easily scale up the recipe.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this healthier vegan chocolate orange cake recipe a try.
