| (For all ingredients, please use organic versions if available) Orange Vegan Cake
 2¾ cups (330 grams) cake flour
 ½ teaspoon baking soda
 2 teaspoons baking powder
 ½ teaspoon salt
 1 cup (200 grams) vegetable shortening
 2 cups (360 grams) organic cane sugar
 3 ounces (90 milliliters) soymilk
 Grated zest of 1 orange
 
 Egg-replacer
 6 ounces (180 grams) liquid flax
 3 tablespoons (50 grams) pumpkin purée
 ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (or vegetable gum)
 in 1 ounce (30 milliliters) water

 1-2 teaspoon(s) orange extract
 1 can Rich's Non-dairy Whipping Cream
 1 package Whip-it (whipped cream stabilizer)
 
 
  
 
 
  
 Directions (to make a kind of egg-substitute):
 The idea is to make somekind of liquid by heating flaxseed and water.
 
 preheat a pan
pour 20 ounces of water into the pan, add 100 grams of flaxseed
stir a little bit, and let sit for 4-5 minutes until boils
wait a litle bit, then strain the liquid into a cup, don’t wait too long since the liquid will solidify
the result is slimy liquid imitating egg-whites, so it will bind the ingredients
for our cake measure 6 ounces (180 grams), and the remains can be stored in freezer for many weeks for later use
let it cool before combining with the flour
 Directions (to make another kind of egg-substitute):Mix the xanthan gum and hot water fast & vigorously until becomes paste.
 
 Directions (to make the cake):
 pour shortening (Smart Balance) and sugar into mixing bowl,
switch on mixer in slow speed, when they kind of mixed
together, the mixer can be turned faster until it becomes cream, then
turn it off, mixing process takes 2-3 minutes
add the first kind of egg-substitute, the pumkin puree and the second kind of egg-substitute
turn on the mixer from slower to faster speed until all of
them mixed perfectly, then turn it off, the result is a smooth mixture
as basic for the cake
combine salt, baking soda and baking powder with the flour, mix a little bit then pour into the mixing bowl
turn the mixer slowly, pour the soymilk into the bowl, add the
orange zest, turn faster for a while until mixed perfectly, then turn
it off, mixing process takes 4-5 minutes
prepare 2 thick baking pans, put a little bit of oil on the surface, rub evenly, then spread a little bit of flour on them
pour the batter evenly into the baking pans
put both pans into preheated 350 degrees F oven
bake for 30-35 minutes depending on the thickness of the batter in the pans
 | Directions (Whipped Cream Frosting): 1.    pour the whole can of non-dairy whipping cream into the mixing bowl, add the stabilizer
 2.    start mixer in slow speed, then faster after a while, for 3-4 minutes
