Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 75 g cocoa powder
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 240 ml unsweetened almond milk (or any other plant-based milk)
  • 120 ml vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

For the Chocolate Ganache

  • 150 g vegan dark chocolate
  • 120 ml full-fat coconut milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 20cm (8-inch) round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache. In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk over low heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Allow the ganache to cool slightly to thicken.
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of ganache on top of one of the cakes. Place the second cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining ganache.
  • Decorate the cake with vegan chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or your favorite vegan chocolate decorations.
  • Slice and enjoy your delicious fudgy vegan chocolate cake!
    This cake is rich, moist, and chocolatey, making it perfect for any occasion, whether you're vegan or not.
