Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Chop the vegan dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Add the coconut oil to the bowl.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together by placing the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the coconut milk mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the batter and gently fold until smooth and uniform.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs attached.
Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, transfer the torte to a serving plate and dust with additional cocoa powder or serve with fresh berries for an extra touch.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your vegan decadent chocolate torte.
