Healthy Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
As you can see, this chocolate peanut butter cake is perfectly moist and oh so chocolatey.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy-free or regular)
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (also try using spelt flour)
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup and an extra tbsp coconut sugar (or just use regular sugar if you prefer).
- 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional but highly recommended)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tbsp oil (organic canola, vegetable oil, etc).
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl combine the milk and the vinegar. Set aside..
- In large mixing bowl thoroughly combine all the dry ingredients (flour - ground flaxseed).
- Add in the milk/vinegar mixture, and the remaining wet ingredients (applesauce - oil). Combine (easier with a fork) all ingredients just until the batter is mostly smooth. *Some smallish lumps are very normal*
- Add batter to greased 8 inch round baking pan. Swirl in some peanut butter on top if desired - and sprinkle a small handful of chocolate chips over it as well.
- Bake from 30 - 33 minutes until fully baked. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving (if you can).
