Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Add the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until combined.
Step 4
Stir in the apple cider vinegar. This will help activate the baking soda and contribute to the cake's rise.
Step 5
Pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, which 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 allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, frost the cakes with your favorite dairy-free frosting or enjoy as is.
