Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate, chopped
• 0.25 cup espresso coffee

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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a few minutes to curdle and create a vegan buttermilk.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar to the curdled almond milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped dark chocolate and brewed espresso coffee until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Vegan Chocolate Mudcake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vegan ice cream!
