Vegan Chocolate Pound Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour, gluten-free if necessary
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan hot chocolate creamer with functional mushrooms
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp melted refined coconut oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate, melted, to coat
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350F/180. Line a 9-inch loaf pan with non-stick parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, hot chocolate creamer, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Stir with a whisk until uniform.
Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the water, melted coconut oil, lemon juice and vanilla. Stir until uniform and lump-free.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a plate and cool completely.
Pour the melted dark chocolate over the loaf and spread it around with a spatula. Let it set for 15-30 minutes, until the chocolate has firmed up.
Serve immediately or keep at room temperature in an air-tight container until needed.
