- 1 tablespoon(s) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon(s) orange zest
- 3 tablespoon(s) orange juice
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup(s) brown sugar
- 1/3 cup(s) olive oil
- 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour

Strawberry topping:
- 1 1/4 cup(s) sliced strawberries

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ยฐF (160ยฐC). Lightly spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes. It will curdle but this is what you want. Now add the orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, coconut sugar and olive oil. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir in the orange-milk mixture and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside on a wire rack and allow to cool in the pan.
- Once cooled, gently remove the cake from the pan. When ready to serve, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the cooled cake. Toss the sliced strawberries with the orange juice, spoon over the cake slices and serve.
