Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.33 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Vegan chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Coconut cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the ganache, heat the coconut cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the vegan chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Let the chocolate and coconut cream sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, if needed.
Let the ganache set for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
