Ingredients
Scale
Vegan Chocolate Sheet Cake:
- 2 cups (220 g) oat flour, sifted
- 1 cup (100 g) cacao powder
- 1 cup (200 g) coconut sugar
- 2 tsp arrowroot powder
- 1 1/4 cup (300 mL)unsweetened dairy free milk + 1 tsp acv, room temperature, mixed before the batter
- 1 cup (250 g) unsweetened applesauce, room temperature
- 3 tsp baking soda + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (DON’T mix until you’re about to add to the batter)
Vegan Chocolate Buttercream:
- 1 cup (220 g) vegan butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups (300 g) coconut sugar
- 1 cup (100 g) cacao powder
- vegan sprinkles, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8×8 or 9×9 square baking pan with parchment paper and oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cacao powder, coconut sugar, and arrowroot powder.
- Add in the applesauce and dairy free milk mixture, and fold together.
- Once the batter is mixed, combine the baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Allow it to foam, and immediately add to your batter, then mix.
- Pour the batter (it should be rather thick) into the baking pan, and place the baking pan into the oven to bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then carefully transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely so that you may frost.
- When ready to frost, prepare the vegan chocolate buttercream. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer and large bowl, cream the vegan butter for 2-3 minutes. Add in the cacao powder and coconut sugar, and cream until fluffy and smooth.
- Spread onto the cooled chocolate cake. Top with sprinkles.
- Slice and enjoy! Store any leftovers covered and in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge up to 5 days, or in the freezer up to 3 months.
