How to Make Dark Sumptuous Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together coconut oil (or vegetable oil) and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and then the plant-based milk gradually.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the coconut butter (or vegan margarine), powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with half of the frosting.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
