Easy & Delicious Vegan Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting

September 26, 2020 by Izabela

Jump to Recipe

Did someone say chocolate cake! This recipe has been my go-to for a couple of years and it is originally created by Gretchen Price in her Modern Vegan Baking cook book. If you haven’t visited her website, you just must- she makes the most amazing creations!

If you asked me what flavor of cake is my favourite I would usually say vanilla but THIS chocolate cake is incredibly delicious and paired with the right filling (think chocolate, cookie butter, coconut, peanut butter!) it is really out of this world!

I’ve adapted the recipe to be able to create 3 x 6″ cake layers but you can easily fill 2 x 9″ pans with the same amount of batter and get some really nice tall layers of chocolate cake- not a bad problem to have in my opinion!

Although I used a mixer for this, you could very easily throw all the ingredients into one bowl and mix it all together. I should note that the batter is going to look really runny and it might make you question whether or not it’s going to even turn into anything nice. It will! I promise!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
