Ingredients
  • 3 and ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 cup + 2 and ½ tbsp vegan butter, melted
  • 4 large oranges, zested
  • 2 and ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • ⅔ cup aquafaba
  • 1 and ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup coconut yogurt
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tsp orange food dye (optional)
  • 1 jar Nature's Charm butterscotch sauce
  • 2-4 tbsp bourbon
  • 1 can Nature's Charm coconut whipping cream, chilled overnight
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Zest and juice the oranges.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients- flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients- melted butter, orange juice and zest, sugar, aquafaba, vanilla, yogurt, and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in the orange coloring if using.
  3. Thoroughly grease and dust a 12cup bundt pan. Pour in the batter then tap it on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Meanwhile, whip the coconut cream until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Chill until ready to serve. Stir the bourbon into the butterscotch sauce and set aside.
  5. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before releasing to prevent sticking. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for another 20 minutes or so.
  6. Once the cake is mostly cooled, pour the butterscotch bourbon sauce over the top in an even layer. Slice then top each slice with a dollop of whipped coconut cream and more butterscotch bourbon before serving.
