Vegan Orange Pound Cake
I’m a big fan of oranges and cranberries. If you also like these two ingredients, as much as I do, put them together in a delicious vegan orange pound cake! You can feel the orange flavor with every bite.
I love to pour some delicious orange-flavored vanilla glaze, and orange slices on top of my vegan orange cake. These are my choices, but you can skip them if you like to have a simple cake. Simply dust it over with some vanilla-flavored powdered sugar.
