        How to make this vegan mint chocolate cake recipe…

        Start by combining your apple sauce, vegan chocolate spread, mint extract and water to a bowl.

        Then add in your dry ingredients - Gluten Free flour, sugar, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder. And mix until fully incorporated.

        Finally melt some vegan chocolate for 30 sec intervals and pour into batter, mix and transfer to the loaf tin.

        Bake for 45 mins. Once baked the cake should be springy to the touch or a skewer should be clean once inserted.

        As the cake cools, begin making the buttercream.

        The vegan chocolate buttercream

        For the mint chocolate frosting, beat the vegan butter and icing sugar until fluffy then add the melted mint chocolate.

        Once the cake has cooled, spread the buttercream over the top of the cake and dollop on more melted chocolate randomly across the cake.

        Using a butter knife, swirl the melted chocolate into the buttercream. And if you want to be a little fancy, drizzle your slice with some vegan caramel!

        What did you think of this chocolate mint cake?

        If you’re not a huge fan of mint you can always reduce the amount of mint you add or take it off the recipe completely. For a simple chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting.
