When I go to a café or restaurant and I have to choose between a fruity or a chocolate cake, my choice always goes to the chocolate cake. All the more I am happy that it is truly a chocolate bomb, like this vegan chocolate cake. And by bomb I don't mean it's a calorie bomb, this one is rather the healthy version of a chocolate cake, which it gets by with just 233 kcal per piece. It is really nice juicy and also goes down well with non-vegans.
Especially in the Gugelhupform this cake looks simply stunningly beautiful, doesn't it? Just looking at my mouth is watering.
What I personally like most about this cake is the combination of coconut and chocolate. Since this cake is prepared with coconut oil, it brings a fine note. However, if you don't like it that much, you can also replace the coconut oil with sunflower oil, as this is tasteless. And if you like, you can add a little bit of vanilla flavour, for example. There are no limits to your imagination!
I leave the cake in the oven for about 50-60 minutes. I prefer to set the heat a little lower (here 160°C circulating air) so that it doesn't burn me from above, and I still test it again with a stick just before taking it out to make sure it's ready. I had my problems with this during my first (vegan) baking attempts. Who knows it?
