Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

30 oz full-fat coconut milk, 2 cans
3 cups dairy-free chocolate chunk
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ cups dark cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 cups almond milk
1 cup coconut oil, melted
1 ½ cups applesauce
1 ½ cups maple syrup
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
berry, of choice, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe measuring cup, or in a small pot on the stove, heat the coconut milk until hot, but not boiling (about 2 minutes in the microwave).
  • Place the dairy-free chocolate in a large bowl and pour the hot coconut milk over it, allowing the milk to melt the chocolate. Mix well to combine.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, add the coconut oil and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 3 separate 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pans and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the whole wheat flour, dark cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, add the almond milk, coconut oil, applesauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine.
  • In two batches, add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding with a spatula until combined. Some clumps are okay.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 3 pre-greased cake pans and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out almost entirely clean. Cool completely.
  • Remove the frosting from the fridge and mix it up well.
  • Choose which cake will be your bottom layer and cover evenly with about 1 cup (115 G) of frosting. Top with the second layer, frosting evenly again. Add the final layer and frost the top and the sides of the cake generously, topping with berries of choice for garnish.
  • Enjoy!

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE



Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipe image

An easy vegan chocolate cake recipe, made with basic ingredients and perfect for any occasion.

Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups spelt or white flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips, (optional)
1 1/2 cup sugar, (or xylitol for sugar free)
1/2 cup applesauce, (banana, or yogurt of choice)
1/2 cup oil, (almond butter, or allergy-friendly sub)
1 1/2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease two 8-inch pans. Set aside. Stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, optional chips, and sweetener in a bowl. If using almond butter, gently warm it until soft and easily stir-able. In a new bowl, whisk the oil or nut butter, applesauce or yogurt, water, and vanilla. Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined (don't over-mix). Pour into the pans.Bake on the center rack for 25 minutes or until batter has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out mostly clean. (I like to take them out when still a little undercooked, let cool, then set in the fridge overnight. This prevents overcooking, and the cakes firm up nicely as they sit.) If you can wait, I highly recommend not tasting until the next day... this cake is so much richer and sweeter after sitting for a day! When ready to frost, go around the sides with a knife, then invert each cake onto a large plate. Frost separately, then place one cake on top of the other if a double-layer cake is desired. At this point you can also frost the sides if you wish. I linked a few of my favorite frosting recipes earlier in this post.View Nutrition Facts
