VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

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

EASY VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

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.

• Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool.

TRUE DEEP CHOCOLATE VEGAN CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Oil an 8-inch square or round baking pan and dust with a little sifted cocoa, or line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar.
• In another bowl, combine the oil, water or coffee, and vanilla.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until blended and smooth.
• Add the vinegar and stir briefly. The baking soda will begin to react with the vinegar right away; this is normal and should happen.
• Quickly pour the batter into the baking pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Transfer to a plate when cool and glaze.
• For the glaze: In a double boiler or small, heavy saucepan over a medium flame, melt 1/3 cup raspberry jam with 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
• In another small saucepan mix 2 cups jam with 2 teaspoons water and warm over a low flame until the spread liquefies.
• Brush the water-fruit mixture over the top of cooled cake. Spread the chocolate mixture on top of that. Allow the glaze to cool before cutting the cake.
