What You’ll Need

• White sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Juice and zest of an orange
• Vegetable oil
• Almond or any non-dairy milk
• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Ground cinnamon
• Salt
• Chopped pecans
• Powdered sugar

How To Make This Easy Orange Bundt Cake

Pre-heat the oven to 350F / 175C. Get your 9″ bundt pan and grease it well with vegan butter. Then dust it lightly with flour. This will help get the cake out cleanly at the end.

Beat the oil and sugar together. Then add the almond milk, fresh orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix to combine well.

Add in the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda & powder, and orange zest. Stir to combine thoroughly. Then fold in the pecan nuts.

• 

• 

Pour the batter into your greased and floured bundt pan, tapping it lightly to make sure it’s evenly settled.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, checking near the end to see if it’s done. If a toothpick comes out clean, you’re good!

While the cake is cooling, you can make the glaze by mixing together the icing sugar and orange juice. You can adjust to your liking.

After the cake has cooled for 10 minutes, place it upside down on a cooling rack and drizzle the glaze over the top.

Serve warm or cool.

How to Store Your Vegan Orange Cake

You can store this easy glazed orange bundt cake in an airtight container or wrapped with plastic wrap/aluminum foil in a cool and dry area or in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

If you plan on making this glazed vegan bundt cake ahead of time, a helpful trick is to insert some toothpicks on the top and sides of the cake to prevent any plastic wrap or aluminum foil from sticking to the glazed cake. 

Can You Freeze This Vegan Bundt Cake Recipe?

Yes! Allow your easy glazed orange bundt cake to completely cool before storing it in the freezer for up to 3 months.

You can freeze glazed or unglazed vegan bundt cake. If you are storing leftover vegan bundt cake, consider storing individual slices (wrapped with plastic wrap or aluminum foil). This will allow you to thaw the exact amount of cake at any given time instead of defrosting most of the remaining cake. 

How do I Prevent my Eggless Bundt Cake from Sticking to the Cake Pan?

It’s important to always apply a generous amount of vegan butter or a baking non-stick spray (preferably something like Wilton Bake Easy Non-Stick Spray which has flour in it) to each inch of your bundt cake pan to ensure that your cake doesn’t stick to it when removing it from the mold. 

You could also loosen the cake from the cake pan with a small curved spatula if you’re still having trouble.   

Possible Vegan Orange Bundt Cake Recipe Variations

• The orange glaze used for this vegan bundt cake is incredibly simple. You can definitely use a vegan-friendly frosting option instead if you prefer that to a sugar glaze. 
• For a gluten-free vegan orange cake, ditch the all-purpose flour and use a gluten-free flour like Bob’s Red Mill instead. 
• Add some extra flare to this vegan orange bundt cake recipe by garnishing it with chopped nuts of your choice and orange zest. 

Tips for Making the Best Orange Bundt Cake Recipe

• It’s best to glaze this vegan bundt cake while it’s still warm (not hot) so that the orange sugar glaze gets better absorbed, helping to create a super moist and scrumptious bundt cake! 
• A good way to get rid of air bubbles in the cake batter is to tap the cake mold against the countertop prior to baking the cake. A few gentle taps will do. 
• It’s good to keep in mind that the glaze will be slightly dry to the touch after a while of cooling but wet on the inside. If you press on it, the glaze will crack. 
• While I’ve used a 9-inch bundt cake pan for this vegan orange bundt cake recipe, I’m confident that a 10-inch pan would also work.
