Vegan Chocolate Cake

Directions

• Preheat oven to 180 degree C and lightly spray 2 8-inch round cake pans. Dust with cocoa powder, shake out the excess and set aside.
• Mix the almond milk and vinegar in a large mixing bowl, and let set for a few minutes to activate.
• Add the oil, vanilla extract, and applesauce and beat until foamy. 
• Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to a sifter and slowly sift over the wet ingredients while beating it
• Beat until no large lumps remain. It should be creamy and pourable. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
• Pour the batter in cake pan. Bake 25-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
• For frosting, I mixed strawberry pulp with some vegan butter.
• If you like frosting, you can also make versions by adding fresh strawberries or nuts or melted dark chocolate layer or chocolate chips on top.
