How to make vegan tangerine orange carrot cake: tips and tricks

  • Be sure to use freshly squeezed juice for the cream. This is the only way to make the cake really fruity and aromatic.
  • You can adjust the amount of sugar for the dough and the cream according to your taste.
  • The amount of flour given in the recipe may vary. Therefore, add the mixture of flour and baking powder in portions to the other ingredients until the dough has a viscous consistency.
  • Do not mix the dough for too long, but only briefly and quickly until the dough is homogeneous. Otherwise, the cake base might taste firm and not fluffy after baking.
  • Do not bake the cake base longer than necessary or it may taste dry. Use a wooden skewer to check if it is done baking.
  • Be sure to let the cake base cool thoroughly after baking before cutting it into four smaller cake layers, as it is very fragile while still warm.
