How to Make Basic Chocolate Cake Mix Vegan Spelt

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour your baking pan (9x13 inch for cake, muffin tin for muffins, ramekins for puddings).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups spelt flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ cups sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat).
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in your desired add-ins: up to 1 cup dark chocolate chips for a fudgier cake, ⅔ cup chopped nuts or cherries, or shredded coconut.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  7. **Baking Times:** * Cake: Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. * Brownies: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are set and the center is slightly gooey. * Muffins: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. * Puddings: Bake in ramekins for 10-15 minutes, or until set.
  8. Let the cake cool completely before frosting (optional).
