Chocolate Vegan Birthday Cake

Looking for a vegan special occasion cake? Give this easy Chocolate Vegan Birthday Cake a go! It’s dairy-free and contains no eggs, so suitable for strict vegetarians or anyone with a food allergy. It’s super moist, chocolatey, rich, and perfect. You have to try it!

This recipe is as easy as any other chocolate cake recipe. You don’t need any fancy equipment or ingredients to make this cake at home. For the chocolate layers, combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Combine all the wet ingredients in another bowl. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between two 8-inch cake pans and bake until a skewer comes out clean. As for the icing, it’s best spread between the layers and over the cake when it’s just made. The icing is thick and does not need to be refrigerated at all. So wait until the layers are fully cooled, make the icing, and then ice the cake. Give the cake some extra decoration by topping the icing with vegan-friendly sprinkles, and enjoy!

To make the Chocolate Vegan Birthday Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Chocolate Vegan Birthday Cake

1	Heat oven	5
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
2	Mix all dry ingredients	2
Combine 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups raw cane sugar, ¾ cup cocoa powder, 3 teaspoons baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl and stir.
3	Melt coconut oil	1
In a small saucepan or in a microwave-safe dish, heat ½ cup coconut oil until melted.
4	Mix all wet ingredients	2
In a separate mixing bowl, combine 2 cups almond milk, 1 cup applesauce, 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir in the melted coconut oil.
5	Combine wet and dry ingredients	2
Use an electric mixer, to combine wet and dry ingredients until the batter is runny and smooth.
6	Transfer cake batter to cake pans	3
Grease two 8-inch baking pans with coconut oil and divide the batter evenly between the pans.
7	Bake	40
Bake the cakes for about 40-45 minutes, or until the batter is cooked all the way through and a skewer comes out clean.
8	Cool	10
Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in pans before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before icing.
9	Melt butter and chocolate	3
Heat ¾ cup dairy-free butter and ¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips together over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted.
10	Make icing	2
Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to a bowl and add in ½ cup cocoa, 2 ½ cups powdered sugar, ¼ cup milk, 2 tablespoon almond butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Use the electric mixer to combine all the ingredients until smooth. The icing should be thick yet spreadable.
11	Assemble	3
Slice the dome off from the cakes with a serrated knife so that the cakes are flat on top. Use a spatula to ice the top of the first layer before placing the second layer on top. Ice the top and sides of the cake.
12	Serve
Add vegan-friendly sprinkles and serve!
