Bake Your Own: Simple & Delicious Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ¾ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
• ¾ cup warm water
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar

For a Simple Vegan Chocolate Frosting:

• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• Pinch of salt
• ¼ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or two for a layered cake).

2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, plant-based milk, warm water, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in the apple cider vinegar.

4. Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s) and bake for 30-35 minutes (or 25-30 minutes for two layers), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool: Let the cake(s) cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Make the Frosting: While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Gradually add the plant-based milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

8. Frost & Enjoy: Once the cake is completely cool, frost it generously with the vegan chocolate frosting. Get creative with your decorations – fresh berries, vegan chocolate chips, or a dusting of cocoa powder all work beautifully!
