Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine thoroughly.
In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the fudge topping. In a small saucepan, melt the vegan chocolate chips with maple syrup over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pour the melted chocolate fudge over the cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the chocolate fudge set for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
