Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cups Dairy-free chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Hot water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and applesauce until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
Add the hot water to the batter and stir until smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cool, the cake can be frosted with your favorite dairy-free frosting or enjoyed plain.
