How to Make Vegan Chocolate Cake


How to Make Vegan Chocolate Cake

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Cake is a favorite dessert for many people, often for special occasions, like birthdays, or just as a tasty treat. The only problem is that cake can be a very fattening dessert, unless you have a healthy recipe like this one, for a vegan chocolate cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups flour (white- or half white and half whole wheat)
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup white sugar, or a sugar substitute, that has been finely ground in a food processor
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons apple puree
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup warm water

Steps

  1. Grease the cake pan lightly. Since there is no oil in this recipe, it will stick if you skip this step.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees C).
  3. In a large bowl, stir all of the dry ingredients together (the first 6 on the list).
  4. In a separate bowl, mix all or the wet ingredients.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, in two equal amounts, while mixing well after each addition, but be careful not to over mix. Just make sure there are no big lumps in the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Since ovens vary, the cake is done when it has risen to double its size, and springs back up if you press on it. Stick a toothpick in the cake to check if it is fully baked. If the toothpick is removed dry, it is ready to eat.
  8. Remove the cake from the pan after it has cooled for 5 minutes. This will be easy if you oiled the pan.
  9. Enjoy a healthy slice of delicious vegan chocolate cake!

Tips

  • You can enjoy the cake as it is, but if you'd like a healthy frosting, try spreading Greek yogurt and raspberries on top for added taste.

Warnings

  • Be careful not to burn yourself when using the oven.

Things You'll Need

  • Bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • A blender, or food processor
  • An oven
  • A cake pan

Recipe for a Healthy Life Author: Leah R. Williams Experts say there are two basic categories of foods that can be seen as nutritious food that help keep off the pounds. Which are the fruits and vegetables and nutrients that give our bodies that resistance? If fruits and vegetables are the "food group nutrients that help "keep-it-off", does fiber play in the maintenance of super-nutrients?  Protein is another super-nutrient. It has become more scientifically accepted that protein may help reduce appetite. The protein also provides little resistance and can increase metabolism in the process. But it is imperative that you choose your proteins wisely, because like all other foods, if you eat more than your body needs, it will appear in the scale as a gain rather than a loss. If you're trying to lose weight, eating fresh food is vital to plan for weight loss. Also, eating fruits and vegetables help hair, skin and teeth stay attractive and healthy. And when you think a...
