It feels heavy to be living in the US these days. Baking has been my therapy as it’s the only thing I seem to be able to control. Dark chocolate always improves my mood so I decided to bake a vegan chocolate cake. No drip, no ice cream necessary. As a general rule, it’s important to invest in high-quality ingredients. The quality of your cocoa powder is key in this cake!
1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a cake pan or in my case a flute loaf pan with cooking spray.2. In a small bowl add milk and apple cider. Let curdle for a few minutes. Then add sugar, oil, vanilla and whisk well.3. In a separate bowl add dry ingredients together and mix.4. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients in two batches. Be careful not to overmix! A few lumps are fine.5. Pour mixture into your pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle if it comes out clean you are golden.
