This Vegan Chocolate Cake is Egg-free
\nGluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and so fluffy!\u00a0 It’s surely
\nthe\u00a0 fastest, easiest, and fun to make chocolate
\ncake you’ll ever bake.\u00a0 And it’s versatile! You can
\ntop it with dairy-free ice cream or whipped cream
\nor any of my Healthy Frostings<\/a><\/span>.
\n<\/strong>
\nYou save on <\/span>dishes by preparing it right in a greased
\n8 square or 9 inch circle pan. That means less cleanup.<\/span>
\nI used a 8×8 inch reusable pan. I cut the cake in
\nhalf, and made two 8×4 inch slabs.
\n<\/span>One half chocolate frosted, the other, half topped with
\nchopped nuts drizzled with powdered sugar glaze.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(See my healthy frosting<\/a><\/span> recipes and the snowball cookies)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are no mixing bowls needed since this <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

cake can be mixed <\/span>directly in the pan. Or you <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

can mess up a bowl and mix the ingredients
\nbefore pouring into the pan.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grease the pan well and put a layer of parchment
\non bottom for easy removal. Or line the pan
\nwith one sheet of parchment. Just stir with caution
\nnot to mix the parchment into the batter.
\n<\/span>
\n
\nMeasure the flour, sugar, cacao and salt
\nand baking soda into the <\/span>pan. <\/span>Using a fork
\nor whisk, gently stir all ingredients until no
\nstreaks remain and <\/span>everything is combined.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nIngredients<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1 \u00bd cups of oat flour<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bd cup tapioca flour\/starch, or Arrowroot).<\/span><\/p>\n

3\/4 tsp xanthan gum (or a Flaxseed Egg)<\/span><\/span>,
\n<\/em><\/span>1 cup raw or coconut sugar<\/span>
\n1\/4 cup cacao or cocoa<\/span>
\n\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/span>
\n1 tsp. baking soda<\/span>
\n1 teaspoon vanilla<\/span>
\n1 tablespoon white vinegar<\/span>
\n1 cup cold water, or any plant based milk
\n1\/3 cup light olive oil
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)<\/span><\/p>\n

Options:<\/strong>
\nSometimes I add a pinch of allspice, or
\ninstant espresso powder, or a few drops
\nof rum. Or I sprinkle the top with chopped
\nnuts or shredded coconut.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nDirections:
\n<\/strong>
\nPreheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
\n<\/span>Whisk Flour. Tapioca, Xanthan gum (or flaxseed egg)<\/i>
\ncoconut sugar, cup cacao, salt, and baking soda
\nIn a parchment lined baking pan (to save cleanup),<\/em>
\nor mix in a mixing bowl..<\/span><\/p>\n

Scoop out three holes or valleys in the flour<\/span>
\nmixture. Pour the vinegar into the first hole;
\nthe vanilla into the second hole, and the oil
\ninto the third. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nPour the water (or plant-based milk) over everything
\nand stir with a fork or whisk until <\/span>everything is well
\nblended. Don’t forget to stir in the corners of
\nthe pan <\/span>and the edges! Be careful not to disturb the
\nparchment paper. Or mix in a large bowl to accommodate
\nthe procedure, then pour into lined 8×8 pan.
\nBake 35-40 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and cut into
\nsquares.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Serve while still warm with ice cream or whipped
\ncream to top it off. Or <\/span>simply brush with melted
\nbutter or coconut oil. A drizzle of melted chocolate
\ncan dress <\/span>up this cake for unexpected guests.<\/span><\/p>\n

As quick and simple as a mix to prepare, but much
\nmore economical <\/span>and without the long list of chemical
\ningredients, this recipe has been a <\/span>classic American
\nfamily “keeper” since the 1940’s. There have been
\nmany recipe tweaks and <\/span>variations<\/span><\/p>\n
