A vegan chocolate cake that is also ultra delicious? Yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing today. Just recently, I once again had a discussion about the topic of gluten intolerance and whether it is not simply imagination. My answer was quite pragmatic, just leave it out consistently and eat it again after 3 weeks. If your body reacts to it and shows symptoms, then it is likely that you may have an intolerance. Otherwise, it can also be just imagination, in which we humans are top performers. If you are fine with gluten, then there is nothing wrong with consuming it either. From my point of view, best in the form of an organic, whole grain. Otherwise, feel free to be surprised by this delicious cake, which is completely without oil and gluten. Let’s get started.
Vegan chocolate cake – gluten-free, oil-free – tastes
First of all, we make the two bases, which I bake in springforms 20cm in diameter. Oat flour, buckwheat flour, gluten-free flour blend, cocoa powder, coconut blossom sugar, raw cane sugar. Mix well once to break up any lumps in the flour. For the wet ingredients mix vegetable milk, baking powder, apple cider vinegar and wait until it foams.
TIP: The vegetable milk should never be too cold, otherwise it can not react with the acid and alkali from baking soda and vinegar. If you take them directly from the refrigerator, then briefly warm them in a milk pot to lukewarm. Please also do not let it get too hot, that would also be counterproductive.
Into the liquid is then added maple syrup, applesauce and melted dark chocolate, bourbon vanilla and a pinch of salt. Finally, mix everything well until a smooth dough is formed. Be careful not to stir too long, otherwise you’ll stir out the leavening power of the dough and it won’t rise well.
Vegan chocolate cake in summer, autumn, spring and winter?
I don’t want to promise you too much, but I literally fell in love with this cake. The layers of moist, chocolatey dough with the creamy chocolate filling is simply a dream. If you then eat a piece straight from the fridge, I can only congratulate you. What can go wrong in the production process? It is better to be well informed beforehand than to experience disappointment afterwards.
- The consistency of the dough is crucial. Depending on the flour, the dough can sometimes become a little too liquid or too firm. Feel free to take a look at the video, there I show the ideal consistency of the dough.
- Test dough with a wooden stick after baking time is up, once baked, the wooden stick will come out clean.
- Always allow cake layers to cool well, if they are still too warm, the frosting will melt. I always plan enough time when baking cakes.
- Allow frosting to set for some time in the refrigerator and only then spread on the cake.
TIP: If you don’t want to bake gluten-free, then you can replace the flour 1:1 with spelt or wheat flour and cornstarch.
Otherwise, there is not much more to say about this delicious Cake not much more to say, except that we should definitely get started now. I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
