Hello there everyone and welcome back to green Gourmet today the recipe is a chocolate cake which is not only vegan but it is also glutenfree yes you’ve heard me right this cake doesn’t have any flour in it so before we go in the kitchen for the recipe please subscribe to my channel green gouret like and share this recipe with anyone who might.
Like a delicious and easy vegan recipe now let’s get baking together so as I said this recipe is also glutenfree so there’s no flour in it it’s very simple as you can see it’s basically corn starch and cocoa powder a little bit of sugar it’s really very very easy to make so just make sure that you blend all the ingredients very well and it’ll.
Literally take like 2 minutes it’s not properly a One Bowl chocolate cake recipe because we are going to have to melt the chocolate but as you can see it’s really super easy just make sure that you Blended the ingredients very well after that you add your vegetable milk in my case this is a soy milk for this specific recipe you can use any.
Vegetable milk you prefer but sometimes for some recipes it’s actually best to use either soy milk or almond milk but in this one even rice milk or oat milk will work perfectly fine maybe the oat milk was slightly changed the flavor but just go ahead and try it and if you do just let me know in the comments here below how you think that it turned out.
So little by little add the vegetable milk I’m saying little by little because otherwise with the corn starch it’s not going to melt properly and you don’t want to have any big chunks of corn starch in your cake as you can see the mixture has got to be very very smooth and then at this point we grate the lemon zest in the mixture I use one.
Entire lemon so both the zest and the juice of the lemon cuz I really like it like super desty uh I like the contrast between the uh sweet chocolate and the zesty lemon Flav flavor and here we are going to melt our chocolate Ben Marie or commonly said a nice water bath as you can see my chocolate is from an Easter egg and actually this is the reason why.
I thought I should publish this recipe because I don’t know what goes on in your house at Easter but I receive a lot of Easter rags and then I have all this chocolate sitting around and I thought that this glut tin-free vegan chocolate cake would be a perfect way to use it so basically it’s very easy you set your cake mixture.
Aside and then we move on to Melting the chocolate it’s a very plain B Marie so boiling water you put the chocolate in a bowl and you keep mixing until it melts completely as you can see right now and little by little when it’s still in the water bath we are going to to add the vegan butter because this cake has got a little bit of vegan butter in it so just.
Add it a little by little and just add the new cubes of butter once the previous ones have been completely incorporated into the chocolate and this is what it’s going to look like it’s going to turn into I would say some sort of ganach consistency and texture at a certain point as you can see but it’s still very very very smooth it’s not as.
Runny as plain chocolate but it’s got to be extremely smooth once all the butter chocolate mixture is completely melted just get rid of the pan and this is when we are going to put our uh chocolate our melted chocolate in the bowl with all the other ingredients that we previously prepared just make sure that you give it another stir very.
Quickly before you pour the chocolate it in because the corn starch might have gone down to the bottom of your bowl just give it a good stir and then add the chocolate and butter mixture nothing more than that mix very well and this is how it’s going to look like it’s dark chocolate so this cake and it since it has no flour in it this cake is going to.
Look extremely dark but the great thing about it is basically since it’s like 200 g of chocolate Z flour and only 45 G of corn starch it’s going to be like melt in the mouth sort of texture when you eat it and it’s absolutely amazing so as you uh can imagine by the very small pan I’m using this Mi mixture makes a r smallish cake uh it’s.
Approximately 18 diameter pan I’m using here so if you want a bigger one you have like to double the dose and make it in a bigger pan I just like to make it very little so that I can have it very fresh this cake actually sits around a couple of days but no more than that I would say and now the final touch to this cake I like to serve it with this.
Vegan Greek yogurt frosting so basically I just mix some vegan yogurt with a little bit of maple syrup and then I whip it up nicely just make sure if you actually do this frosting to make to use the Greek yogurt because otherwise it’s going to be a little too runny so I recommend using the Greek yogurt for this one and since we are in full.
Strawberry season in Italy and I mean chocolate lemon screams the strawberries so I thought that the perfect cherry on the top or actually strawberry on the top in this case was to use as strawberries to do a final touch on this cake so cake the Greek yogurt frosting a little bit of strawberries just two or three slices on.
Top and there you go you have served up a delicious decorting chocolate cake I swear it melts in your mouth it’s vegan it’s glutenfree it takes said 15 minutes to make it’s albach you don’t try it you’re missing out I hope you like this recipe and let me know what you think about it and if I did leave you longing for more subscribe to my channel green.
