Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, soy, oat)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup hot water
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the non-dairy milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Once combined, slowly add the hot water while stirring. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Give the pan a gentle tap on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: For a different twist, replace the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil. Swap cocoa powder with carob powder for a caffeine-free version.
- Garnishing Options: Top with a luscious vegan chocolate ganache, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar. A dollop of coconut whipped cream never hurt anyone either.
- Cooking Tips: Ensure your baking soda and baking powder are fresh for the fluffiest cake. For extra richness, add a handful of vegan chocolate chips to the batter. Because more chocolate is always the right answer.
