Chocolate Blender Cake
Ingredients
Blender Chocolate Frosting
- 4 to 5 tbsp milk I use Homemade Soy Milk, of your choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt (*omit if using salted butter)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (aka confectioners' sugar or icing sugar)
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- ½ cup butter I use Earth Balance Buttery Sticks, softened
Blender Chocolate Cake
- 1 cup yogurt (I use Homemade Cashew Soy Yogurt; see Note 1)
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder see Note 2, unsweetened
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp table salt or 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup margarine I use Becel Plant-Based Brick, melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Frosting
- I recommend making the frosting first, so you can reuse the blender again when you make the cake batter.
- Place all the frosting ingredients into the blender, in the order listed.
- Secure the lid and turn on the blender, gradually increasing the speed to the highest speed.
- Blend for 30–45 seconds, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades.
- Cover the frosting with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge to firm up while you bake the cake.
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
- To the same blender that you made the frosting, add the cake ingredients in the order listed.
- Blend on medium speed for 10 seconds. Stop the blender, scrape down the sides, then blend again for an additional 5 seconds.
- Pour batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper (see Note 3).
- Bake in preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center of the cake reaches 210 °F (100 °C).
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting, otherwise the frosting will slide right off.
Notes
In place of the yogurt, you can use the following substitutions:
3/4 cup Soy Milk + 1 tbsp vinegar 1 cup applesauce or other fruit puree (just note that if you use banana, your cake might end up tasting like bananas too) If your yogurt is on the thicker side, substitute up to half of it with milk (I use Soy Milk) to make blending easier.

- For a richer taste, roughly chop up a 3.5oz (100g) semi-sweet chocolate bar and mix it into the batter.
