Hi Bold Bakers! Who out there loves chocolate cake? Who out there is vegan? Well if you raised your hands to any of those things than this recipe is for you! Absolutely irresistible, this cake is not just for vegans but for everyone. Try it once and vegan or not, this will be your go-to chocolate cake recipe for special occasions, or a Tuesday night watching Fixer Upper on HGTV. Already have an account? Made with vegan butter and no egg this is a lovely alternative to a traditional cake made with dairy as it tastes the exact same. I dare any sophisticated cake eater out there to taste the difference. The secret to the moist rich texture of this Vegan Chocolate Cake is an ingredient you may have never put in a chocolate cake before: apple cider vinegar. While you CANNOT taste the flavor of the vinegar at all it really helps to tenderize the cake, specifically the flour. If you’ve never baked with vinegar before you’re just going to have to trust me as it really makes all the difference. This cake packs a crazy chocolate punch and it does not stop there. I complete this cake with a vegan chocolate frosting made of lovely rich coconut cream, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. You may recognize this recipe as it is my staple dairy-free frosting that I also used on my Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake. Vegan or not if you’re looking for an amazing chocolate cake recipe you are going to love this Vegan Chocolate Cake.
What Are Vegan Cakes Made Of?
Very simply, dairy-free versions of regular cake ingredients. Vegan butter is subbed for dairy butter, and a combo of oil, dairy-free milk, and apple cider vinegar replace the eggs. This just shows you that changing a recipe to suit your dietary needs is really quite simple. Something that may help is my 7 Best Egg Substitute Chart.
How Long Does Vegan Cake Last?
Cake is cake and no matter what it’s made of and it should be stored the same way. This cake can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you store it in the fridge just let it come to room temperature before eating as it will taste so much better.
