Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1½ cups plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot coffee (or hot water, for enhanced chocolate flavor)
For the Chocolate Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2–4 tbsp plant-based milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, generously grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
Next, in a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients
Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix plant-based milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
4. Make the Batter
Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Then, mix until just combined. However, do not overmix.
Afterward, slowly add the hot coffee and stir until the batter becomes smooth and slightly thin.
5. Bake the Cake
Next, pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Then, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
6. Prepare the Glaze
Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
7. Glaze and Serve
Finally, once the cake has completely cooled, drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top.
Allow it to set slightly before slicing and serving.
Tips for Best Results
- For deeper flavor, always use hot coffee instead of water.
