Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
For the Cake:
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water or coffee (for a richer flavor)
For the Frosting:
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup vegan butter (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2-4 tablespoons almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lightly grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Whisk to combine thoroughly.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  • In another bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  • Stir until well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Pour in the hot water or coffee and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
5. Bake the Cake:
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Frosting:
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, and beat on low speed until combined.
  • Add the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of almond milk, then beat until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
7. Frost the Cake:
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer.
  • Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  • Decorate as desired with vegan chocolate shavings, berries, or nuts.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
