Delicious Vegan Chocolate Cake

Posted: Dec 29, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The vegan diet, what a drastic diet, isn't it? No animal products whatsoever permitted, including egg, milk, cream and butter also out of the menu. That leaves us with no much to make some appetising and tasty food and what about cakes or pastries.

Imagination is really needed in this situation and creativity is certainly not missing around us, judging from what those vegan addicts are able to produce from their kitchens.

With that in my mind and having had to deal a few times in the past with some very nice vegan customers, I came up with a real vegan recipe that I will share in this article.

It is a nice and moist vegan chocolate cake, that can be eaten on its own or with some sort of garnish like vegan chocolate or vegan vanilla sauce or even raspberry jam.

Here below are the ingredients needed for around 4 to 5 cakes of this delicious recipe:

Light whole-wheat plain flour: 220g
Plain cake flour: 225g
Sweet potato flour: 100g (to keep the cake moist)
Baking powder: 18g
Bicarbonate soda: 10g

Cocoa powder: 165g
Salt: 5g
Soya milk: 500g (rice or coconut or oat milk can also be used instead)

Corn oil: 260g
Rice malt syrup: 1000g
Apple cider vinegar: 7g
Vanilla essence: 10g

Method:
First turn the oven on, as always, with the temperature dial set to 180ºC (356ºF) this time.
Spray-grease around 4 or 5 cake tins then place a round piece of grease-proof paper on the bottom of each of them.

Then start by sifting the  plain flour, potato flour, baking powder and bicarbonate soda together, then add the whole-meal plain four last without sifting it. Mix thoroughly.

In a saucepan heat the soya milk on low heat. When it is slightly bubbling, add the sifted cocoa powder and whisk well until it is dissolved. Remove from the heat.
Combine the other liquid ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add the cocoa mixture and combine.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake moulds. Each cake mould should be filled to around 2/3 of their height.

Insert into the pre-heated oven and bake for around 40 minutes.
If your oven has a ventilation duct, keep it closed during the 1st half of the baking and then open it for the 2nd half.

When a small knife inserted in the chocolate sponge cake comes out clean, take them out of the oven and let them cool down for a few minutes.

When they have cooled down take them out of the tins and turn them over on cooling wire.
This cake can be eaten as it is or covered with a vegan chocolate icing, rendering it even more attractive and appetising.

I really hope you enjoyed this Vegan Chocolate Cake recipe.

    Delicious espresso chocolate brownie paired with espresso chocolate pudding. A miracle happens when you bake this. All the liquid sinks to the bottom and forms a creamy pudding. The batter rises to the top and forms a cake like brownie. Yum!

    I've always enjoyed eating pudding and I thought of making one myself (for the very first time). But I wanted to make a no bake pudding. So I decided on making a frozen one and I tried it out and it came out so good! I can feel the taste right now as I'm writing this blog!! So sharing with all of you, the recipe to a "Coconut Pudding". It'll just take an hour.

    Panna Cotta is a very good example of a delicious dessert very easy to prepare at home, as it only requires the minimum of equipment: a stove and a fridge plus some plastic moulds that we usually call darioles. But any kind of individual ceramic or glassware dishes will do the job just as well.
