Personally I'm not a huge fan of chocolate cake but what nicer for Valentine's Day for my favourite vegan than Vegan Chocolate Cake? I got this recipe from veganchocolatecake.net and changed the weights to European ones.
Ingredients
185g plain flour
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon bread soda
100g sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon bread soda
100g sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
5 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
5 tablespoons cooking oil
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
240ml cold water
240ml cold water
Icing
1 small bar dark choc melted
1 tablespoon of icing sugar, to thicken
Method
- Preheat oven to 180˚C
- Grease and line an 8 inch round tin
- Sieve the flour, cocoa, bread soda and salt in a large bowl
- Mix in the sugar and salt
- Make 3 holes in the dry ingredients. Put vanilla essence into one, oil into another and cider vinegar into the third.
- Pour cold water over the top. Mix only enough to combine all ingredients.
- Pour the batter into the tin
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean
- Decoration:
- When the cakes are cool, melt the chocolate
- Mix in the icing sugar
- Palette the icing onto the top
- Decorate with chopped nuts
