Vegan Death by Chocholate Cake

This is a classic Chocolate Cake made with plant-based ingredients only. No eggs or dairy. It is dangerously delicious! I dare you to try it.

Cake

• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup soy or almond milk
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 mashed banana
• grated chocolate for decorating

Frosting

• 4 oz unsweetened chocolate (you can use semi-sweet chocolate, but prepare for a sugar shock! :)
• 1/2 cup vegan butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar (or more)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp soy or almond milk

Preheat oven to 350F. In a mixing bowl combine flour and cocoa powder. Mix everything well. Add sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix everything well with a fork. Gradually stir in soy or almond milk, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and mashed banana. Beat with mixer until smooth.

Spray 9'' cake pan with cooking spray. Transfer batter into cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

To prepare frosting, melt chocolate and vegan butter in small sauce pan. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and soy or almond milk. Beat everything well until frosting is smooth. (You might want to experiment with the quantity or powdered sugar and soy milk. Add more powdered sugar if you want your frosting very thick) Use immediately taking care to not let frosting set.

Decorate cake with thick layer of chocolate frosting. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Enjoy! Don't eat the whole thing :)
