Hello Steemians! I would like to share this recipe of mine. I just turned 30 and for that, I made this healthy vegan chocolate cake which my fiance loved so much. It's super easy to make. Give it a shot and try to make it if you love chocolate cake. This one here is healthy, so you can indulge and have no worries. :-)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups 275g felt flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder 100g
  • 2 tsp bicarbonate of soda baking
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 3/4 cups coconut milk 450ml
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups coconut sugar 320g
  • 1 1/4 cups sunflower oil 320ml coconut oil is a great alternative
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Vegan Chocolate Ganache Frosting

  • 250 g vegan dark chocolate roughly chopped
  • 2/3 cup coconut milk
  • vegan butter
  • 1cup coconut sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 celsius (315 fahrenheit)
  2. Grease a 23cm (9 inch) cake tin and line the base with baking paper.
  3. Combine the coconut milk, vinegar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk.
  4. Sift the flour, cocoa, bicarb, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Sift again. Add to milk mixture and whisk until smooth.
  5. To thin the consistency (if needed) add more milk, or to thicken add more powdered sugar.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 40 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out with almost no crumbs attached. The middle of the cake should also spring back when lightly pressed. Place on a wire cake rack and leave to cool in the tin.
  7. To make the frosting, melt cacao nibs into a cup of hot water and stir. Add coconut milk and set aside.
  8. Cream butter and sugar. Add the cacao milk mixture. Mix altogether.
  9. Pour the frosting over the cake and gently easy down the sides with an offset spatula. Top with raspberries or your fruit of choice, if using.

Have a happy cooking!
