Enchanting Chocolate Forest Cake
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup unsweetened oat milk
- 1 cup warm coffee
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Frosting
- Two cans coconut cream
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
Preparation
Cake
Preheat oven to 350F and prepare the pans.
Combine the apple cider vinegar with the oat milk to make buttermilk.
Sift all dry ingredients into one bowl.
Add all wet ingredients, including the buttermilk, into a separate bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans.
Bake for 45 minutes or until firm.
Frosting
Chill two cans of coconut cream.
Remove the cream from the cans and mix with 1/2 cup cacao powder and 1.5 cups icing sugar.
Adjust the consistency by adding more icing sugar if too watery or more cacao powder if needed; it should firm up after mixing.
Frost the cake and decorate as desired.
Notes
This recipe makes two 6-inch cakes and three cupcakes.
Save the leftover coconut water from the cans for use in a smoothie.
