Other than when I was feeding my dairy allergy baby, I have avoided going fully vegan. I eat many vegan things but I just love chocolate, especially milk chocolate. Through being vegan when feeding I found mint dark chocolate that helped ease my cravings and I try to keep up with that but I do like a treat over the weekend or the option of a nice slab of chocolate cake or pudding.
Perhaps if I'd known how many bakes and treats can be made vegan, I may have gone there sooner. Since my littlest one has weaned and is still egg and dairy free, I have had to find work arounds so he doesn't miss out on treats.
I found an excellent egg replacer from Holland and Barrett that I now use mainly in cakes, rather than faffing around with aquafaber and chia seeds. But some bakes, like this one, don't even need eggs, or milk!
This cake still gives a fudgey, gooey chocolatey hit that you are sure to love.
The recipe requires:
1 cup plain flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup warm water
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tbsp vanilla essence
6 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup oat milk
milk free buttons, berries, cherries to decorate
heat oven to 180
combine dry ingredients
add warm water and vanilla
mix thoroughly
grease a tin with oil
bake for 30 minutes
in a pan mix oil, oat milk, icing sugar, cocoa powder, and melt
once out of the oven pour over the melted chocolate and eat while warm
