Ingredients:

  • 1 Box Devil’s Food Cake Mix (check label to ensure it’s vegan-friendly)
  • 1 Box (3.9 oz) Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix (check label to ensure it’s vegan-friendly)
  • 5 tbsp ground flaxseed meal + 1 1/4 cups water (as egg replacer, mix and let sit for a few minutes)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 Cup Dairy-Free Sour Cream (such as coconut or soy-based) or Buttermilk (make vegan buttermilk by adding 1 tbsp vinegar to 1 cup dairy-free milk)
  • 3/4 Cup Brewed Coffee
  • 2 Cups Vegan Chocolate Chips (check label to ensure they are dairy-free)

  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
  5. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cake plate or large round platter.

Ganache Icing:

  • Heat 1/2 cup vegan butter (check label to ensure it’s dairy-free) over low heat. Add 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/2 box powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp dairy-free milk. Stir until smooth. Optionally, add 1/2 cup chopped pecan pieces if desired.
