Ingredients

Orange Batter:

  • 200 g (1 + ⅔ cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 90 g (½ cup) caster or granulated sugar
  • 50 ml (3 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon) neutral oil
  • finely grated zest of 1 large orange
  • 100 ml (⅓ cup + 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon) orange juice
  • 100 ml (⅓ cup + 1 Tablespoon + 1 teaspoon) water
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract optional

Chocolate Batter:

  • 170 g (1 + scant ½ cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 30 g (⅓ cup) cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 90 g (½ cup) caster or granulated sugar
  • 50 ml (3 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon) neutral oil
  • ½ teaspoon vinegar
  • 200 ml (¾ cup + 4 teaspoons) water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/350°F/gas mark 4. Grease a 10 cup bundt tin with oil or melted vegan butter making sure that you get right into all of the nooks and crannies.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder for the orange batter in one bowl, and the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder for the chocolate batter in another.
  • Add the sugar, oil, orange zest and juice, water and orange extract to the orange batter, and the sugar, oil, vinegar, water and vanilla extract to the chocolate batter.
  • Stir each with a balloon whisk until no dry lumps remain.
  • Alternate spooning the batters into the bundt tin then gently run a knife though to swirl them together slightly.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the tin for 20 minutes then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • See post above for tips, details and step-by-step photos.
  • As with all of my baking recipes I really do recommend using the metric measurements with a digital scale rather than the cup conversions. Cups are a wildly inaccurate measuring system and you will get far better, more consistent results using a scale, not to mention that it is also easier and less messy than cups!
