CAKE!!! Everybody loves cake. Especially if it's chocolate cake. So since me and Miks were invited to a cozy home party, we decided to astonish people by making our first (hmm... no one knew that!) vegan chocolate cake. It was so yummy that no one believed it's vegan :) I loved the reaction of people when I said that no eggs, no milk and no butter are used. "What is it made of, then?" - a question would follow. But really, what is it made of? :)
Cake ingredients:
* 1,5 cups of flour
* 1 cup of sugar
* 2/3 cup of cacao powder
* 1 cup almond/soya milk (if you don’t have those just use water)
* 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
* 1/2 tsp of salt
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tbsp apple cider/rice vinegar
* splash of brandy/liqueur
Glaze:
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 3 tbsp vegan butter/margarine
* 2 tbsp soy/rice milk
* 2 tbsp cacao powder
* splash of brandy/liqueur
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180°. In a deep dish mix together flour, sugar, cacao, baking soda and salt. When it’s mixed, add the water, a splash of brandy/liqueur, oil and vinegar and mix it once again until even. Pour it in the deep dish and bake it for ~30mins. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: in a small pot bring sugar, butter/margarine, soya/rice milk and cacao to boil. Stir constantly for approximately 2 minutes, remove the heat and stir for about 3-4 minutes more until it thickens. Add a splash of alcohol and pour onto cake when it’s cooked. Let it cool and enjoy!
