[BobbyVegan]

I tried to bake it recently. It turned out delicious.

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil

• 0.5 cup Hot water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.
5. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

10. Serve and enjoy!

Is that like a pound cake, with the coconut oil?

 

[BobbyVegan]

There's only one way to find out

looks like a great simple recipe - I would put in apple sauce and leave out the coconut oil

Then it'll be a regular cake
I kinda want to try the coconut oil (refined) but I don't want to use coconut oil
I have a recipe for a bundt coffee cake that uses silken tofu, with walnut struesel in the middle I want to make this weekend
...or the chocolate peanut butter bundt PTree makes. Too many choices....

My favorite chocolate cake is the depression or wacky cake. It's my go to recipe. I like to add chocolate chips to the batter.

Ingredients​

CHOCOLATE CAKE​

• ▢ 1 ½ cups (187 g) all-purpose flour
• ▢ 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
• ▢ ¼ cup (29.5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions​

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

CHOCOLATE CAKE​

• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
• Add vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water to the dry ingredients and stir using a spatula or whisk until ingredients are fully combined.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. When an inserted toothpick is removed with a few crumbs (not clean!) the cake is done.

I've always had great results with this one, too, from veggie boards. The Absurdly Easy Chocolate Cake.

How much apple sauce would you use in this recipe? I would love to make it but I want to avoid coconut oil if I can.

I would use the equivalent of the oil - so in this case a third of a cup - I buy those small applesauce kids cups which are about 1/2 cup and so that is what I often use.

I sub applesauce in some baked goods, but bot chocolate! Totally taste it. I just use half the oil

I'm very glad you liked it! Here is a link to other vegan recipes with applesauce on my food blog This list mainly includes baked goods, desserts and sweets.

I know this is an older threat, but I think I will have to try this recipe! when I make it, I'll post pictures and give my final verdict. there's just one question I have: why apple cider vinegar? does it help the cake rise or something? anyway, I'll report back when im finished...

I know that apple cider vinegar reacts with baking soda but I don't know if that is the reason it's included in a lot of recipes...now I have to and Google it lol.

It is indeed. However, it is far more potent when mixed directly with baking soda and added just before pouring into the cake tin.

I find that US recipes contain far more baking soda compared to the UK ones.

hmm, would US recipes having more baking soda be due to different voltages between UK and US ovens? although, I'm not sure if that would make sense since I think historically it was the UK that had less voltage power or whatever. but I have noticed that same trend..!

MMMMMMMMM! MMMMMMMM!! Now this sounds yum-MY! Is anyone else's mouth watering right now!?

The oven temperature would be the same for baking cakes; UK or US.

It's more to do with food and recipes being quite different. The food in the US has a different taste to food in the UK.

The UK and also Europe has higher voltage compared to the US. Our appliances use 3 pin plugs:

Europe's Different Electrical System​

Europe's electrical system is very different from that in the US. The voltage, frequency, and plug shapes are not the same. This happened because they developed their systems separately.

Why Europe Voltage is Higher​

Most countries in Europe use a higher voltage, between 220V and 240V. This is about twice the voltage used in the US. The reason for this is history. The US power grid was one of the first. It used 110V because the first light bulbs worked best with that voltage.

When Europe built its power grids later, technology was better. European engineers saw that 220V was more efficient. Higher voltage can send the same power with less electric current. Less current meant they could use thinner, cheaper copper wires. This saved a lot of money as they built power lines across the continent. Europe started with 120V but chose to change. The US did not change. Too many American homes already had 110V appliances, and it would have cost too much to replace them all.
