Clementine Cake Vegan

Originally, this was an orange cake made with egg yolks and whites. I’ve learned that whipping egg whites is often unnecessary; combining baking soda, plant-based milk, and apple cider vinegar does an excellent job. Since I had some tangerines in the fridge, I thought this could be a nice change.

So I sliced the tangerine into segments, cut each into four, removed the pits, and rolled them in cornstarch.

I mixed olive oil, sugar, and applesauce in a deep bowl, added milk, apple cider vinegar, and extracts, and mixed in the tangerine.

I sifted flour into a bowl, added baking powder, baking soda and salt and mixed until combined.

I poured the batter into a greased and floured pan, baked it for forty-five minutes, cooled it, and sprinkled it with powdered sugar. The result was a tall, fluffy cake with a crispy crust and a surprise of fruit pieces inside.

Enjoy, and let me know how it turned out 🍊😋❣
