Embark on a guilt-free journey of decadence with our Healthy Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake. Indulge in the rich, plant-based goodness of this dairy-free, vegan delight that's as luscious as it is health-conscious.
Heat your oven to 350°F/175°C. Spray a 8-inch square cake pan with vegetable spray. You can also place a piece of parchment paper at the bottom of the pan and spray the sides with vegetable oil.
Combine in a large mixing bowl the flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, and baking soda/powder. Stir to combine.
In a smaller bowl combine the flax eggs, water, applesauce, vinegar, oil, and coffee. Stir to combine.
Pour the water mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until there are no large lumps of flour, around one minute.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar or top with Whipped Ganache Frosting.
Notes
The nutritional estimate for this recipe is for the chocolate cake without frosting.
