Orange Coconut Cake is a vegan dessert that is simple to make and quite delicious. I made this cake to bring as a Thanksgiving Dessert (secondary to the pumpkin pie of course). You can use canned or refrigerated coconut milk (I used canned when I made this the first time), and feel free to substitute out the refrigerated orange juice for fresh squeezed!

In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, sugar, apple sauce, orange zest, orange juice, and coconut milk.
