Categories     Bakery Goods

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!

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and whisk to thoroughly incorporate, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Once, the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, create a small well in the middle and add in the coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond milk. Continue to whisk until a thick and lumpy batter forms.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Make our easy vegan chocolate sponge for a special occasion using dairy substitutes. It's finished with luscious 'buttercream' and seasonal fruits

Provided by Miriam Nice

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 14

150g dairy-free spread, plus extra for the tins
300ml dairy-free milk, we used oat milk
1 tbsp cider vinegar
300g self-raising flour
200g golden caster sugar
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp vanilla extract
100g dairy-free dark chocolate
200g dairy-free spread
400g icing sugar
5 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tbsp dairy-free milk, such as oat milk
handful of fresh, seasonal fruits such as cherries, blackberries or figs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease the base and sides of 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with dairy-free spread, then line the bases with baking parchment.
  • Put the dairy-free milk in a jug and add the vinegar - it will split but don't worry. Put all of the other cake ingredients into a large bowl, pour over the milk mixture and beat well until smooth. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out cleanly. Leave to cool in the tins for 10mins then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  • To make the buttercream, put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Leave the melted chocolate to cool for 5 minutes. Beat the dairy-free spread and icing sugar together with a wooden spoon then sift in the cocoa powder with a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted chocolate and dairy-free milk and keep mixing until smooth.
  • Sandwich the two cooled sponges together with half of the buttercream then pile the rest on top and down the sides. Decorate with the fresh fruit.

EASY VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE



Easy Vegan Chocolate Cake image

It's official: the best vegan chocolate cake is also the easiest chocolate cake in the world, no dairy or stand mixer required!

Provided by Sarah Magid

Yield Makes one 8-or 9-inch layer cake or 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2¼ cups organic all-purpose flour
2 cups organic cane sugar
1 cup organic unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon organic vanilla extract
⅔ cup organic canola oil
2 teaspoons organic white vinegar
2 cups cold water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans, or place liners in 2 muffin pans for 24 cupcakes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the vanilla extract, oil, vinegar, and cold water.
  • Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. The mixture will be quite wet, but this is okay.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. For cupcakes, the baking time is 24 to 26 minutes.
  • Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of flours for a more complex flavor and texture. Almond flour and coconut flour are both good options.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dry cake.
  • Be sure to grease and flour your cake pans before baking. This will help prevent the cake from sticking.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have vegan chocolate chips, you can use chopped nuts or dried fruit instead.

Conclusion:

This vegan chocolate cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's rich, moist, and full of chocolate flavor. Plus, it's made with wholesome ingredients, so you can feel good about eating it. So next time you're craving something sweet, give this vegan chocolate cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
