Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour 180 g, Notes 1,2
  • 1 cup granulated sugar 200 g
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup water 240 ml
  • 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Can coconut milk only the thick cream at the top of the can
  • 3-5 tablespoons icing sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Refrigerate coconut milk: Place the coconut milk can in the fridge overnight or for at least 3-4 hours before using it. Make sure you do not shake the can at all, this will allow the cream to set at the top of the can.1 can coconut milk
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Line the cake pan with parchment paper.
  3. Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. 1½ cups all-purpose flour/ 180 g + 1 cup granulated sugar/ 200 g + 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder + 1 teaspoon baking soda + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + 1 cup water/ 240 ml + 5 tablespoons vegetable oil + 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. Bake vegan brownies: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out wet but without batter sticking to it. Let cool completely.
  5. Coconut cream frosting: Carefully remove the can from the fridge and open it without shaking it at all. Spoon most of the thick cream at the top of the can. I place the rest of the liquid in another container and add it to a soup, curry, or stew during the next couple of days.
  6. Whip coconut cream: Add about 3 tablespoons icing sugar and whip the cream until nice and fluffy. Taste and add more icing sugar if you want the cream to be sweeter or a bit stiffer. Cut the cake into squares and pipe some coconut cream on each square. 3-5 tablespoons icing sugar

Notes

  • You will have to start one day in advance, as the can of coconut milk needs to set overnight in the fridge.
  • Measurements: I always recommend using a digital kitchen scale in baking (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab); it guarantees the best result.
