Who doesn't LOVE chocolate!? I've always been a chocolate lover and when I was diagnosed with Lyme I thought I would have to give up chocolate for good! The good news is that I really only gave it up for a year, and I found healthy ways to eat chocolate in small proportions so it doesn't make me sick! This chocolate cake was a hit for my whole family and it's completely organic, refined-sugar free, AND vegan! Yep, that's right! No animal products in this cake! I also have found in my healthy baking pursuit that it's really difficult to make healthy cakes that aren't super dry, but I've FINALLY mastered a refined sugar-free recipe that is super moist and very fudgy on the inside! Even the glaze is sugar free and it adds the final finishing touch to this beautiful cake! I also used cacao powder in this recipe instead of cocoa. Cacao is considered a super food and helps boost your mood and your immune system! Eating chocolate in the right amounts can be good for your body! What a relief!! Vegan Fudge Cake!Ingredients:
2 cups coconut milk 2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup raw honey 1/2 organic maple syrup 2/3 cup organic grapeseed oil 2 Tbs. pure vanilla extract (Yes that's correct! Bring on the flavor!) 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 2 cups whole wheat bread flour 2/3 cup cacao powder (sifted) 2 tsp. baking soda 1 1/4 tsp. salt Chocolate Glaze: 2 Tbs. coconut oil, melted (or if you don't mind it not being vegan you can use organic butter) 1/4 cup powdered Lakanto sweetener 1 Tbs. cacao powder 2-3 Tbs. coconut milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions:
*Use organic ingredients when feasible.
