Vegan Recipes: 10 Ingredients or Less

Wacky Chocolate Cake

Vegan Chocolate Cake
If you have browsed through my vegan dessert recipes, then you know I love using chocolate as an ingredient. From vegan brownies to homemade vegan chocolates, I enjoy experimenting with ingredients to make delicious vegan treats. I had never made a vegan cake before, so this time I thought I would try baking a vegan chocolate cake. I decided to use the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine's 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program for my 21-day vegan challenge Facebook group, and I found this amazing recipe in the recipe section of the app. It is absolutely fabulous!  The only modification I made is  doubling the recipe in order to make a two layer cake.

Wacky Cake was said to have its origins in World War II rationing when milk and eggs were hard to come by. Before becoming vegan I regret to say that like many Americans, I consumed a lot of milk and dairy products. However, once I became vegan and learned about animal cruelty and what happens to dairy cows I was devastated. It's amazing how you can live for so many years thinking that you are making healthy choices for your family by buying organic, low-fat milk, or skim milk. I'm so grateful I found the movie Vegucated that was the catalyst to my vegan transformation.

This nine-ingredient vegan chocolate cake recipe is a great example of how you can make a decadent dessert without any animals having to die in the process.

​Ingredients:
3 cups unbleached pastry flour

3 tsp. baking soda
6 tbsp. cocoa powder
4 tsp. vanilla extract
10 tsp. unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 cups cold water

Chocolate Avocado Frosting:  Prepare just before spreading atop cake. Combine two ripe avocados with 6-8 tablespoons each unsweetened cocoa powder and pure maple syrup in a food processor. Process until completely smooth, adding a tiny bit of soy or almond milk if needed for consistency. Taste, adding more cocoa powder or maple syrup for desired taste, plus a pinch of salt (optional).
