It’s a classic, we all love it and dream about it… It’s the chocolate cake!!
\nI’m a lover of super dark and intense chocolate but I still enjoy a decadent and sweet cake from time to time… So since I went vegan I tried so many recipes and different variations to create the perfect balance between the two.\u00a0I finally found that the combo of dark chocolate with some bitter orange jam was a total winner! The flavors combine together perfectly and it’s a party in your mouth!![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thegoldenhour.idra.it\/fm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2803.jpg\")

Ingredients: Preparation: *Remember that with vegan baking the cooking time is very variable and it depends on your oven or on the baking pan that you’re using, so make sure to check on the cake after the first 30 minutes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s a classic, we all love it and dream about it… It’s the chocolate cake!!

\n<\/strong>\u2022 450ml plant based milk
\n\u2022 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
\n\u2022 320g semi-wholemeal flour
\n\u2022 1 tsp baking powder
\n\u2022 1 tsp baking soda
\n\u2022 60g cacao powder
\n\u2022\u00a0\u00bd tsp cinnamon
\n\u2022 a pinch of salt
\n\u2022 100g\u00a0chopped\u00a0almonds or hazelnuts
\n\u2022 170ml maple syrup or agave nectar
\n\u2022 100ml extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
\n\u2022 zest of 1 organic orange<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Start by preheating the oven at 180C degrees. Then whisk the milk and the apple cider vinegar and let it sit\u00a0for 10 minutes (don’t worry, you will not taste the vinegar at the end). Sift the flour, the baking soda, the baking powder, the cacao powder and the cinnamon together in a large bowl. Add the salt and the nuts\u00a0and give it a big stir. Mix\u00a0the oil, the orange zest and the sweetener of your choice with the milk and vinegar, then gently combine the liquid ingredients to the dry. Don’t over mix or the cake will result gummy.
\nPlace the mixture in a greased baking pan and cook for about 40 minutes.* To make sure that the cake is ready, use a toothpick and insert it in the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Remove it from the pan and let it cool down. Enjoy it with some bitter orange jam and you can thank me later \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/thegoldenhour.idra.it\/fm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2805.jpg\")
