Healthy Vegan Chocolate Cake

Geraldine Bartolo

I made this cake 3 times before I found the perfect recipe. I also baked 250 servings of it for the event. The beautiful thing about this recipe is that there are several methods of making this, that will give you similar results. This is the fastest and easiest method that uses the least amount of equipment.

Equipment

Food Processor
25cm Springform Pan

Ingredients

225 ml Almond Milk or other dairy free milk
2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
100 g Soya Yogurt
2 tsp Vanilla Essence
3 Tbsp Olive Oil 21g
100 g Oat Flour you can make your own by blitzing oats in a food processor for around 2 minutes
150 g Wholemeal Wheat Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
Pinch Salt
50 g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
100 g Sweetener I use Xylitol
50 g Sultanas
60 g Stevia Sweetened Dark Chocolate
1 recipe Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Frosting optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 175°C.
Mix in the Chocolate and Sultanas with the oat flour and keep processing until all ingredients are finely chopped. Set aside in a separate bowl.
Add the wet ingredients (milk, lemon juice, soy yogurt, vanilla, olive oil) to the bowl of your food processor and give them a quick mix.
Add all the remaining ingredients, including the oat-sultana-chocolate mixture to the wet ingredients and process for a couple of minutes to achieve a smooth cake batter texture.
If you’re making a cake: pour the mixture into an 8-inch pan or silicone mold and bake for 35-40 minutes. You’ll know that the cake is cooked if a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
If you’re making cupcakes: pour the mixture into 14 cupcake molds and bake for 20 minutes. Do not overfill the cupcake mold, the mixture should fill around ¾ of the mold as the cupcakes will rise in the oven.

Notes

Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, you can also use a stand mixer with a K beater to mix the ingredients. Just make sure the sultanas and chocolate are very finely chopped (or the chocolate can be melted) to ensure all ingredients mix properly.
