Ingredients
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 75 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 250 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 80 ml vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 ml boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until they are well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.
Step 5
Gradually stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth and well incorporated. The batter will be thin, which is completely normal.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 9
Once cooled, you can serve the cake as is or frost it with your favorite dairy-free frosting. Enjoy your delicious Dairy-Free Schokokuchen!
