Method
Preheat oven to 350° F
Place soy milk and 1 tablespoon of the orange juice in a mixing bowl and set aside for 5 minutes.
Sieve the flour, add the orange zest with the other cake ingredients and mix until well blended, light and fluffy, adding 1 tablespoon of the orange juice if needed.
Divide the mixture between a cupcake tray lined with 12 paper liners and bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until well risen and golden.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile to make the icing, beat together the remaining Flora, icing sugar, and 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice until well mixed.
Spoon into a piping bag with a large star nozzle and when the cakes have completely cooled, decorate with swirls of orange icing and slices of ginger.
