Hey there! I'm Maxwell Stone, your go-to guy for all things vegan and delicious. Today, I'm here to guide you through the wonderful world of vegan brownie cake. Trust me, this is a dessert you won't want to miss!
Making a vegan brownie cake is easier than you might think. With a few simple swaps and some plant-based magic, you'll have a decadent treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your friends. So, let's get baking!
Here's a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy milk)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan with a little vegetable oil and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Make sure all the dry ingredients are well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and plant-based milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.
4. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and spread it out evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
5. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now, here comes the fun part – the toppings! You can get creative here and add your favorite vegan frosting, fresh berries, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar. The possibilities are endless!
Remember, this recipe serves as a great base, but feel free to experiment and make it your own. You can add chopped nuts, vegan chocolate chips, or even a swirl of peanut butter for an extra indulgent twist. Let your imagination run wild!
