VEGAN BLACK VELVET CAKE 🍰
Ingredients:
• 250g all-purpose flour
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 200g sugar
• 120ml vegetable oil
• 240ml buttermilk (vegan)
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• Black food coloring
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 240ml hot coffee or hot water
• 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water)
Method:
Preheat oven to 175°C and grease your baking tins.
Mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl whisk sugar, flax eggs, oil, vanilla and vegan buttermilk until smooth.
Add black food coloring until you achieve a deep black shade 🖤
Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients.
Mix vinegar into the hot coffee/water then pour into the batter. Batter will be thin, that’s okay.

Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
