I'm going to be making the Orange Cake for a group of 40-50 soon, so will be making several cakes to feed the whole group. I'd like to make a thicker cake, so am considering doubling (or making 1 1/2 times) the recipe to make each cake thicker.

Has anyone tried this? Is it a straight doubling, or are any changes needed to make it work in a larger quantity?

I'm also debating the icing to use. The cake has such a wonderful, strong flavor that I don't want to cover it up with a powdered sugar icing. I'm vegan, so wouldn't be using any heavy cream to thicken the icing, so am looking for one that is thick enough to stay on the cake (and maybe even be decorated). Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

While I have not used Elana's Orange Cake recipe yet, I do double nut flour cakes all the time. Yes, just double all the ingredients. Mine come out as well as a single recipe though I usually use a larger pan to bake it in. If you are going to use the same size pan you may have to bake longer to get it done enough. Just test by touch or sticking a toothpick/straw in as in the old days.

Sorry, I can't help with the icing. I don't usually use any but sometimes use whipped cream. No help to you.
