- 300 millilitres soya milk
- 150 g Flora 100% Natural Ingredients
- 275 grams plain flour
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 175 grams caster sugar
- 3 tbsps golden syrup
Icing
- 75 grams Flora 100% Natural Ingredients
- 200 grams icing sugar
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 2 tbsps water
- Preheat the oven to 180° C, 160° C fan, Gas mark 4.
- Add the lemon juice to the milk and set aside.
- Sieve together the flour, cocoa, caster sugar and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the soya milk, melted Flora, and golden syrup over the flour mixture and stir until it becomes a smooth batter.
- Halve the mixture between two 20cm greased and base lined sandwich tins and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Check to see if your vegan chocolate cake is cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre of each half. If it comes out clean, then it’s done! Once baked, leave the cakes in the tins for 5 minutes before turning out and cooling on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, make the icing by beating together all the icing ingredients until it reaches a smooth consistency.
- When the cakes are completely cold, sandwich them together with half of the icing. Spread the remaining icing over the top of the cake and decorate to your taste, or just leave as it is. Being vegan doesn’t have to mean giving up the treats you love. With this simple vegan chocolate cake recipe you can still enjoy a rich and indulgent chocolate treat but without any dairy or animal products.
- Finish with fresh berries and finely grated chocolate.
