Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cups Dairy-free chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and applesauce until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.

Step 6

Add the hot water to the batter and stir until smooth. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once completely cool, the cake can be frosted with your favorite dairy-free frosting or enjoyed plain.
