Citrus-Vanilla Vegan Loaf Cake

1. Preheat the oven and prepare the loaf pan

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

2. Combine wet ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the vanilla soy yogurt, blended silken tofu, soy milk, sugar, canola oil, vanilla extract, lemon extract, and orange extract. Use an electric mixer to beat these ingredients together for about 2 minutes until they are well combined and smooth.

3. Combine dry ingredients and mix

Sift in the all-purpose flour, arrowroot powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Then, switch to your electric beaters and beat for another 1.5 to 2 minutes until you achieve a thick batter.

4. Pour batter into the pan and bake

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with your rubber spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 65 minutes. To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

5. Cool and store the cake

After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store the cake in an airtight container.
