CHOCOLATE GLAZED ORANGE ALMOND OLIVE OIL CAKE I VEGAN ORANGE ALMOND CAKE I CHRISTMAS RECIPES

Orange cake is  never fails to give good texture and taste to the cake. It is egg-free, butter-free cake with fresh orange juice and almond powder. The cake comes out very nicely with the flavor of orange and almonds. The cake is vegan and not glaze. Finally glazed with chocolates gives awesome and great hit at my home…

The cake is probably one of the best cakes to ever come out of my oven. It has a perfect crumb and incredibly moist. After the chocolate glaze, it has citrusy, sweet and chocolatey. The add of salt enhances the citrus flavor and sweetness from the cake.
