Vegan brownies

Orange-chocolate brownies

Orange and chocolate are a fine combinement. I recommend you squish the orange juice by yourself, it's a lot better! I also left some of the fruit's pulp in the batter. I'm so glad we had soy yogurt in the fridge, vegan baked tastes so much better, and it's so true. But instead I ran out of good real dark cocoa powder, I found like only one spoonful and I had to use the lighter cocoa powder that has sugar mixed in it.

Ingredients:
3 dl of flour
1 ½ tsp of baking powder
½ tsp of baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tsp of vanilla sugar
3 tbsp of cocoa
1 ½ dl of sugar
zest of one orange
2 dl of soy yogurt
½ dl of soy milk
½ dl of orange juice

Icing :
juice of a half orange
25 g margarine, melted
1 tsp of orange zest
2-3 dl of confectioner's sugar

Heat the oven in 175 degrees. Melt the margarine. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix separately the wet ingredients (soy yogurt, milk, orange juice and margarine). Whisk all together, do not stir too much. Pour the batter in a large tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Once you've taken out the cake, let it cool while making the icing. Melt the margarine in a small kettle. Mix in the squeezed orange juice and zest. Whisk in the confectioner's sugar until the mixture is nicely firm. Lay it on the cooled pie and let settle for a while.
