Instructions
 

To make the vegan chocolate cake:

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350.
  • Make your flax egg and set aside to solidify. Sift together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the applesauce, plant based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and cashew butter in a small bowl and whisk together. Add to the dry goods and stir until combined.
  • Pour into your sprayed cake dishes and bake for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool before taking out of the pan. I like to freeze mine wrapped in aluminum foil to absorb the moisture. Make sure the cake is COMPLETELY cooled before frosting.

To make the plant based chocolate frosting:

  • In a high speed blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Allow to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes before using. Enjoy!
