Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt cake pan with vegan butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle and form a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and unsweetened applesauce to the almond milk mixture. Whisk to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the cake dense.

Step 6

Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a vegan chocolate glaze if desired, before slicing and serving.
