Delicious Vegan Chocolate Mini Cakes

 

Ingredients

For the cake layers:

• 2 Cups of flour
• 2 tbsp Baking powder
• 2 Cups of soy milk or almond milk
• ½ Cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp Vanilla essence
• 2 tbsp Date honey
• 2 tbsp Vinegar
• 2 tbsp Pure Coco powder
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil

For the Chocolate:

• 300g (10.5oz) vegan chocolate
• 1 tbs Coconut oil
• 1 tsp Rum essence
• 2 Cups of water

Preparation

Once melted and mixed, pour the chocolate on a baking sheet (make sure it is set on a straight, even work top).

Making the cake layer:

Mix all the cake ingredients together, and if the batter is too thick, add up to half a cup of soy/ almond milk, and mix well.

Pour the batter into a square pan and bake in medium heat for about 30-40 min (until your testing knife/ toothpick comes out dry).

When the cake is ready, let it cool in room temperature and then use a ring or other device to create the cake circles.

Once melted and mixed, pour the chocolate on a baking sheet (make sure it is set on a straight, even work top).

Making the chocolate layer:

Place a sauce pan on a low heat, and mix in half of the chocolate along with the rum essence and the coconut oil (be careful not to burn!)

Once melted and mixed, pour the chocolate on a baking sheet (make sure it is set on a straight, leveled work top).

Use a cake spatula or similar device to flatten the chocolate and then cover with another baking sheet.

Once the chocolate has cooled down and firmed up, remove the upper baking sheet.

Heat the ring (or other circular device) using boiling water or an oven, and use the heated device to cut off the chocolate circles.

Assembling the mini cakes:

Use an apple corer to create inner circles in the cake circles, and then divide them into two layers.

Place one layer of cake, add one chocolate circle, then add another layer of cake and top it off with yet another circle of chocolate.

Melt the remainder of the chocolate on a low heat being careful not to burn, and once it is hot and melted, pour on top of the mini cake and watch the magic happen.

Decorate with seasonal fruits and berries and serve warm.
