- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Grease a 6-hole doughnut pan with a little olive oil
- Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar into a bowl.
- In a jug or another small bowl combine the olive oil, plant-based milk, orange juice, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract and orange zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined and you can no longer see any dry flour. Do not over mix.
- Spoon carefully into the doughnut pan. Fill to the top and gently clear the middle area of batter.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
- Leave in the pan for 5 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
- Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Lay the orange pieces on the tray and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until the sugar has melted completely and is bubbling. Remove and allow to cool completely. They will still be slightly moist, but chewy.
- Gradually add the orange juice to the powdered sugar stirring well in between each addition. Stop when it reaches a very thick white frosting.
- Top each doughnut with a drizzle of frosting and a small wedge of the baked orange.
