Heavenly moist and so flavourful! Ok, I made a lot of substitutions, but the idea stayed the same and it turned out amazing. The main one is I didn’t have icing sugar, so I used strawberry cream cheese instead for the topper and it worked so well. If I will bake it again, I would do it this way again. Also subbed coconut oil for vegan butter, that worked well too. And did not have the blood orange, so used grapefruit juice instead. I don’t know how it was supposed to taste, but even with all the substitutions it turned out really good!
We really loved it!
Flavors were amazing!! But, our batter was super runny so I added a bit of flour (didn't have a pic of the batter to go off of 😅) and it ended up a bit too dense.
The icing also seemed way too runny so I added more powdered sugar but after adding so much I didn't want to make it sweeter than it already was and when I poured it over the (fully cooled) loaf, it all ran right off :(.
May try this again another time if PUL has any advice!
I made the cake and it was tasty! But it was too dense. What could I have done wrong?
Made this for several summer birthdays this year and it always was a hit. I recommend getting some freeze dried strawberries or raspberries and writing the name of the person with it on the cake (given it’s a short name. „Mom“ works ;))
I loved it. My first time baking with egg and milk substitutes, definitely doing it again. Loved the lemony flavor!!
Made this gorgeous cake this morning ( yes I did at 7am )
House smells incredible
I used 2 oranges in replace of blood oranges( will see if I can find some )- turned out amazing
Can’t wait to try a slice at my friends with our cup of teas ( true British 🏴 here 😂🫖)
This cake looks and tastes delicious and it has gone down such a treat! I previously made this with oranges and it was lovely,
but I do prefer the blood oranges in this recipe, and the poppy seeds add a gorgeous texture to the overall cake. Thank you for yet another brilliant recipe!
It's a fluffy and tasty cake. It's sweet but light and the orange flavor is delicious!
I changed the amount of coconut oil for orange juice, that is, I added 1/2 cup of juice and 1/3 of coconut oil. I was afraid the texture wouldn't be as good, but it turned out perfectly and therefore has more orange flavor :)
Grande beijinho para todos! :)
Unfortunately I didn't have bloody oranges but the normal ones, anyway the cake is amazing 😍 I put less sugar because I don't have a big sweet tooth
Last weekend we had a baking day with a friend where we made only recipes from PUL! Honestly, I think that's all I'm going to do this whole year :) This recipe was 1 of the 3 we had made and it went down fantastically well! The whole kitchen smells wonderful and the taste and texture fantastic!
Really enjoyable bread! I was so sad my icing didn’t come out as that bright beautiful pink. But it was tasted right and was yummy! For me, the blood orange flavour wasn’t strong enough without the icing so I totally recommend!! I had a couple slices before making the icing and the icing really took the loaf up a notch 😍
I loved this loaf it was so yummy!
This knocked it out of the park, my husband and I were blown away by how good this cake is! With frosting it’s a decadent cake. If you skip the glaze it’s a nice sweet bread that holds up well packing as a snack.
so good! used a cara cara orange for zest and juice. separated into 12 muffin cups and baked 16-19 min. did not make the glaze because these for a quick low mess school morning breakfast.
was a little worried they would be dry since i used muffin cups instead of loaf pan but they turned out amazing!
This recipe was delicious even though I chose to leave out the sugar glaze! I do wish I had read the first comment below because I used a 1g:1ml ratio of solid refined coconut oil on a scale. It would be helpful to keep the measurements in grams as our scales (in the USA?) don’t have ml.
I’m not sure what I did wrong (I keep checking the ingredients and I’m sure I followed it exactly) but mine turned out super oily! To the point where my fingers were greasy and when I toasted them, they sizzled. The taste was good but the texture was a bit gummy and odd, so we had to unfortunately let them go.
Love it!!!!
Thank you for all the fantastic recipes (=^0^=)
Hello, can I replace the coconut oil refined to vegan butter? Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you for the incredible recipes!
Made this for my family of meat eaters and they loved it. I did have to substitute regular oranges for the blood oranges but it still worked fine. Thanks for all the great recipes it has made including plant based dishes so much easier.
Hiii!! love your recipes.
Question... Can I also use avocado oil instead of coconut?
thanks :)
my favorite website for healthier desserts! this one definitely did not disappoint!
I loved the loaf but the glazing made it way too sweet! I'd just soften it with some blood-orange juice.
Really delicious and so easy to make! Loved it!
The only thing that didn't work with mine was that the biggest loaf pan I had was about 20x13cm. The loaf was golden everywhere evenly, but on the inside the bottom part didn't bake that well towards the center. It wasn't completely raw though but I'm assuming that my loaf pan was just too small and the loaf too thick.
Also, after I took the loaf out of the oven it kinda collapsed. ^^' Is that normal or did I make a mistake there?
Any help?
Very tasty and simple to make !
