Ingredients
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat)1 1/2 cups sugar2 teaspoons baking soda1 teaspoon salt1/2 cup cocoa1 teaspoon cinnamon3/4 cup soy yogurt1 teaspoon vanilla2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar1 1/2 cups water1/2 cup fresh orange juice2 tablespoons grated orange peelChocolate Icing:1/2 cup powdered sugar1 tablespoon cocoa2 teaspoons orange juice1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1/8 tsp. if double strength)--plus extra orange juice as neededOrange Icing:1/2 cup powdered sugar1 teaspoon orange juice1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (or 1/8 tsp. if double strength)--plus extra orange juice as neededSpray a Bundt cake pan with non-stick spray and dust it lightly with unsweetened cocoa. Preheat oven to 350F.
Directions
Combine the flours, sugar, baking soda, salt, cocoa, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Add the yogurt, vanilla, balsamic vinegar, water, and orange juice. Beat by hand or with a mixer on low speed just until well-combined, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the grated orange peel, and pour into the prepared pan.

Bake for about 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert it onto a serving platter and cool completely.

When the cake is cool, make the icings. For each icing, mix the ingredients in separate small bowls. One half teaspoon at a time, stir in enough extra orange juice to make a drizzling consistency. Drizzle the chocolate icing over the cake, wait a few minutes for it to set, and then drizzle the orange icing.

Makes 16 servings.

    Very moist I used just whole wheat flour and extra orange juice. I also used fat free plain yogurt - 6/20/11

    I have to adapt with a GF flour and it's hard to figure out what kind and the mixture. - 9/14/20
