Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

  • 3 cups brown sugar
  • 1.5 cups oil
  • 3.5 cups soy milk
  • 1.5 cups gluten-free cocoa powder
  • 3.5 cups gluten-free flour (an all-purpose gluten-free blend works best)
  • Gluten-free baking powder

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 160°C.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, oil and soy milk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the cocoa, flour and baking powder and whisk well until lump-free — don't overmix, or the cake will turn out dense.

  4. 4

    Bake in a parchment-lined 28 cm round pan, two 20 cm pans, or a large disposable A4 tray.

  5. 5

    Bake for about 50 minutes at 160°C, until a toothpick comes out dry with a few moist crumbs.

  6. 6

    Cool completely. Top with dairy-free chocolate ganache (250 ml non-dairy cream + 150 g gluten-free dairy-free dark chocolate) or serve as is.
