Description

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups cake or ap flour
• pinch of salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup organic sugar (I used Florida Crystals)
• zest of half an orange
• 3/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened
• 1/2 cup organic safflower oil
• 1/3 cup applesauce, unsweetened
• 1 tbsp orange juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp orange juice

Directions

• The Cake Preheat oven to 350F and lightly spray standard loaf pan with non stick cooking spray. In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and orange zest. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients, almond milk, safflower oil, applesauce, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Slowly mix in wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until just combined then fold in the fresh cranberries. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. The original recipe calls for 70-75 minutes but because of the ingredient switches, the time varies. Mine loaves were done at an hour and 20 minutes. At the hour mark, just keep an eye on it from there. If you want to keep it in longer but dont want the top to brown too much, lower the heat and keep it in longer. And of course do the whole tooth pick inserted check. Once done remove from oven and let cool in pan 15 minutes. After that transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before icing (if using). Make the glaze by whisking both juice and sugar together until completely smooth and no sugar clumps are left. Drizzle that yumminess like crazy on top of your loaf cake. Cut, serve and Enjoy!
