  • 2 cups almond milk + 2 teaspoons white vinegar, or regular milk with vinegar
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder sifted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whip oil and sugar together. Stir in vanilla. In a measuring cup, stir almond milk and vinegar together. Set aside to curdle. In a different bowl, stir all dry ingredients together until evenly mixed. Alternate mixing in wet and dry ingredients to the batter starting and ending with dry.
  3. Pour evenly into prepared pans and bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs after being inserted. Cool 15 minutes, then remove cakes from warm pans to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
  4. After cakes are cooled, assemble the cake by stacking baked cakes one on top of the other, filling with vegan frosting. Cover the entire outside and top of the cake. Cover the edges with mini chocolate chips and serve.
