The Best Vegan Chocolate Bundt Cake

Your day is about to get a whole lot better.

I know you’ve probably heard this A THOUSAND times already - food bloggers preaching they’ve made the ultimate vegan chocolate cake recipe, like they’ve cracked the code.

For you to completely believe in their promise expecting the most delicious cake ever, however, after following their recipe to the tee. You're left with a dry, unrisen, dense cake. Edible? Maybe, but definitely not what you were expecting.

If a recipe promises a beautiful cake - that it's the ultimate recipe then it should be. Being off ⅔g of an ingredient wont cause a catastrophic change in texture. So that fault is with the recipe.

So just to clarify, it wasn't your fault it turned out a mess, it was the recipe you were following. Now why am I telling you this?

It's because I’m a recipe developer so I trial and test every one of my recipes before it hits the blog to make sure it is perfect and foolproof.

And this vegan chocolate bundt cake is no exception. I've made this recipe countless times and it creates an incredibly moist, light, fluffy, decadent cake EVERY SINGLE TIME.

You can trust me,

This recipe is a keeper and possibly the only vegan chocolate cake you’ll ever need. 

So get rid of the sally or whatever, bloggers recipe you noted down previously and pin this one so you can refer back to it!

This recipe is awesome and I’m going to get into exactly how you can make …

The eggless gluten free chocolate cake recipe

This quick gluten free chocolate cake recipe requires approx. 15 mins of your time. Simply begin by combining the apple cider vinegar and plant based milk to make a vegan ‘buttermilk’.

And set aside as you whisk together the gluten free flour, caster sugar, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, until fully combined.

Then pour in the plant based buttermilk and applesauce. Mix until just combined then go in and pour your hot brewed coffee. - You won't be able to taste a coffee flavor at all in this cake, it just helps to enhance the chocolate flavor - game changer, don’t miss this step!

Whisk that until fully combined and transfer to your prepared bundt tin and bake that for 40-50 mins. This vegan chocolate bundt cake should be springy to the touch and a couple of cake crumbs should be left on a toothpick once inserted as the sponge is super moist 🙂

Secret to how to make a gluten free chocolate cake light and fluffy

The key ingredient I've found is a apple sauce - this is an excellent substitute for eggs as it makes your sponge light and helps to bind the ingredients together.

The second combination is ensuring you have both bicarbonate of soda and apple cider vinegar in your recipe as this is what allows the cake to raise and create that fluffy airy texture.
