Description

A delicious vegan chocolate cake made with oat flour and protein powder.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate protein powder (I used Sun Warrior)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup full fat plain greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 8” round cake pan with cooking spray.
  2. Add oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Add maple syrup, almond milk, yogurt, oil, eggs and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to fully combine, until smooth.
  5. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before frosting.
  7. While cake is cooling, make the ganache frosting. Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second increments until fully melted. This should take 45-60 seconds. Once melted add milk and stir to combine.
  8. Frost the top of the cake and serve!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use melted coconut oil for the cake.
  • This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vegan ice cream.
