Vegan Orange Loaf Cake – Moist, Flavorful and Zesty

Orange Cake! I really like a little addition of fruits in my cake. Last time it was a Choco-berry cake and today am I here with a moist cake with freshly squeezed orange juice and zest. This amber loaf cake is prepared from scratch and by far this is the best fluffy vegan cake I have ever baked.

As many of my friends are great foodies, we love catching up over good dinners with conversations and cocktails at absolutely stunning venues after office.
