A delicious, fudgey, and insane three-layer vegan chocolate cake!\u00a0<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vegan chocolate cake<\/h3>\n

So, LOOK HOW AMAZING THIS CAKE LOOKS! I couldn\u2019t resist saying that. I am not trying to blow my own trumpet here, but I just adore how this cake looks in all the photos. It also tastes amazing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This cake, is completely and utterly deliciously VEGAN. Don\u2019t worry, it also tastes amazing for non-vegans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is so much stigma around vegan food \u2013 and it bugs me. There is no reason that vegan food can\u2019t be delicious \u2013 and this cake proves it! Look at ittttttttt!!!<\/p>\n

Vegan recipes<\/h3>\n

I have a friend that is one of those people who is skeptical, but even he admits that the vegan recipes I have made for this blog are \u2018bl**dy delicious\u2019 and he always wants another slice. This particular one? He didn\u2019t even realise it was vegan until I told him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This recipe is based on my vegan Biscoff cupcakes<\/a> and my vegan vanilla cupcakes<\/a>, but morphed into chocolate, and made into an irresistible three-layer chocolatey fudgey delicious showstopper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was basically no reason as to my the sponges from my other vegan recipes couldn\u2019t be made into a chocolate version, by simply using cocoa powder in place of some of the flour, and then increasing it all to make it into a cake!\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Two layer cake<\/h3>\n

I did originally make this as just a two-layer cake, but the sponges aren\u2019t that high in depth \u2013 so three looked much better, and just means you get even more delicious in every slice! You can make it just two layer if you prefer though \u2013 notes below!<\/p>\n

Keeping it simple<\/h3>\n

I am personally not vegan myself, but I do often think that some recipes are quite daunting, because of all the extra ingredients that you don\u2019t tend to have lying around the house. For this cake, I tried to reduce this massively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A classic chocolate sponge uses five ingredients, this uses seven. I really don\u2019t think that\u2019s too bad \u2013 and the only thing I think people will tend to not have is the white wine vinegar \u2013 but this is really cheap to buy so no worries!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cocoa powder<\/h3>\n

The recipe itself is just an increased amount as I say from the vegan cupcakes, but then using a dark and delicious (and vegan) cocoa powder gives it such a dark and fudgey taste.<\/p>\n

I use the Dr Oetker fine dark cocoa powder (that does have a warning of \u2018may contain\u2019) but otherwise, does say it\u2019s suitable for vegans. There are many others you can also buy however!<\/p>\n

Frosting<\/h3>\n

For the deeeelightful chocolate frosting, I used the same recipe that I use on my dairy & gluten free chocolate cake<\/a> recipe. It\u2019s increased to make it enough for a three layer cake, but otherwise its the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chocolate<\/h3>\n

On my the dairy free recipe though, I received a very negative and nasty comment about \u2018how I was trying to poison people by telling them to use chocolate.\u2019 I will say this again, MOST DARK CHOCOLATES ARE DAIRY FREE.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I use Callebaut chocolate<\/a>, but I often find that a large percentage of supermarket own dark chocolate is also vegan, and it\u2019s so cheap! So no, I am not trying to poison anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vegan butter<\/h3>\n

I use Stork block, Vitalite, or other dairy free spreads \u2013 and they all work well. When making it, it does make a veeeery soft frosting, but adding in the chocolate firms it up eventually as the dark chocolate will harden.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/h3>\n

This cake is so fudgey, so delicious, and epic. My vegan chocolate cake! X<\/p>\n
