INGREDIENTS
For an 8-inch pan: Type 1 flour (250 g); Potato starch (50 g); Unsweetened cocoa powder (40 g); Sugar (70 g); Vegan dark chocolate (70 g); Oat beverage (350 g); Extra virgin olive oil (60 g); Baking powder (16 g)

Preparation

How to prepare Vegan Chocolate Cake

To prepare the vegan chocolate cake, start by sifting the flour into a large bowl using a fine sieve to remove any lumps and make it finer 1. Add the potato starch, also sifted to obtain a homogeneous mixture 2. Add the baking powder as well 3.

Continue with the unsweetened cocoa powder 4. At this point pour in the sugar 5 and begin to thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients with a whisk so they are evenly distributed 6.

When the mixture is well combined, begin adding the oat drink little by little 7, continuing to whisk to incorporate it without forming lumps. Then pour in the oil 8 and work the batter until you obtain a smooth, thick and well-mixed dough 9.

Then transfer the batter into an 8-inch pan previously oiled and lightly floured 10, leveling it with a spatula or the back of a spoon 11. Distribute the chocolate chips on the surface 12.

Spread them evenly over the entire cake 13. Bake in a preheated conventional oven at 374F for 40 minutes until the cake is cooked and dry inside after the skewer test. Once ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan 14. Then transfer it to a serving plate and let it cool completely. Your vegan chocolate cake is ready to be enjoyed 15!
