Delicious Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipe for Dessert Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond or soy milk works best)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (optional for extra chocolate flavor)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Use parchment paper for easier cake removal.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Ensure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.

    Mix well until fully combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips

    Fold in vegan chocolate chips if using.

    Reserve some chocolate chips for topping if desired.
  6. Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

    Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve with vegan frosting or fruit.
