Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the cooled brewed coffee, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Blend the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add Vinegar: Add the apple cider vinegar to the batter and quickly stir until it is evenly distributed. The vinegar will react with the baking soda to help the cake rise.
6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and Garnish: Remove the cake 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, you can garnish the cake with vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate for an extra indulgent touch.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Vegan Chocolate Cake and serve it as is or with your favorite dairy-free whipped cream or ice cream. Each bite is a symphony of chocolatey goodness that will leave you craving more.
