One-Bowl Vegan Chocolate Cake

This Vegan Chocolate Cake is rich, moist, has the perfect crumb, and is so simple to make. It can all be made in one bowl, and no mixer or egg replacements required!
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 3/4 cups of cocoa powder
  • 1 cup of white sugar
  • 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of regular or light olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups of boiling water
  • 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 and grease and line a 9x9 cake pan.
  • Combine the first 7 (dry) ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until well incorporated.
  • Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk to combine.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool on wire rack and frost with desired icing. (I make a simple chocolate ganache by whisking together 1 cup of melted chocolate chips, 2-3 tablespoons of almond milk, and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.)
