Ingredients
Scale
- 280g all-purpose flour
- 280g granulated sugar
- 35g cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 200ml soy milk (warm)
- 100ml orange juice
- 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 120g vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp orange extract
- 400g silken tofu
- 400g dark chocolate, chopped
- 150ml orange juice
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 100g dark chocolate
- 100g soy cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Sieve together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Warm the soy milk (about 60 seconds in the microwave) and add apple cider vinegar to curdle it, creating buttermilk.
- Line an 8-inch cake tin with parchment paper. Add orange juice, vegetable oil, and extracts to the buttermilk mixture.
- Mix the wet and dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Slice the cake into two layers. For the mousse, blend the silken tofu, orange juice, extracts, and maple syrup until smooth.
- Melt the dark chocolate and mix it with the tofu blend until well incorporated.
- Pour the mousse onto the bottom layer in the tin and chill for 1-2 hours.
- Place the second layer of cake on top and refrigerate. For the ganache, heat the soy cream or milk, pour it over the chopped chocolate, and stir until smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cake. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
For a stronger orange flavor, consider adding more orange extract to the mousse. Store the cake tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
