Ingredients

• 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the hot water, stirring until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, frost with your favorite dairy-free frosting, or leave plain for a simple treat. Enjoy your dairy-free chocolate cake!
