Vegan Chocolate Orange Marble Loaf
A delicious cake topped with a dark chocolate shell - this vegan chocolate orange marble loaf is the perfect dinner party treat to impress your guests!
Ingredients
- 160g wholemeal spelt flour or plain flour
- 50g ground almonds
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 5 tbsp warm water
- 120ml orange juice
- Zest of 1 orange
- 120ml maple syrup
- 60ml coconut oil
For the chocolate mixture
- 4 tbsp cocoa
- 3 tbsp milk of choice
For the chocolate shell
- 150 g dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/350 F.
- Add the ground flaxseed to a small dish along with 5 tbsp water. Leave to set for 10 minutes.
- Mix the flour, ground almonds, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, then fold in the set flaxseed mixture, orange juice, maple syrup, orange zest and melted coconut oil. Mix to form a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter in half, then add the cocoa and milk to one half.
- Line a loaf tin (I used a 21×11 cm loaf tin) with baking paper. Spoon large dollops of each mixture into the tin, alternating the flavours, then use a sharp knife to swirl the batter around (but don’t over swirl!).
- Bake for 50 minutes, then leave to cool completely before adding the chocolate.
- Break up the dark chocolate into a bowl and add the coconut oil. Melt in the microwave, then pour over the cake. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set and enjoy!
