Vegan Chocolate Ganache Cake

This may be the easiest cake you ever make. All it requires is mixing a few liquid ingredients into the dry, pour in your pan of choice and bake. This cake is a classic liquid fat method, which results in a very moist and tender crumb. I recommend letting it cool a bit in the pan before unmolding to ensure it does not fall apart. Finish it off with a rich ganache, some chocolate curls and enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!

Vegan Chocolate Ganache Cake

224 g all purpose flour

192 g sugar

42 g cocoa powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

355 g water

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 TBL vegetable water

1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar’

Chocolate Ganache

126 g dark chocolate

200 g oat milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour.

Sift together all the dry ingredients. Mix the water, vinegar, oil, and vanilla together.

Mix the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Pour into prepared pan and bake until a skewer comes out clean. If using a bundt pan it will take about 30-35 minutes to bake, a 13x9 inch pan will bake faster.

Once the cake cools for about 20 minutes, unmold onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Bring the oat milk to a simmer and pour over chocolate. Whisk together until ganache is emulsified. Pour over the cooled cake and garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
