Indulge in a Guilt-Free Delight: Deliciously Rich and Moist Vegan Cake!
German Chocolate Cake is a delightful dessert that can be made in a plant-based manner. To create this delicious cake, you’ll need both wet and dry ingredients. The wet mixture consists of 1 1/2 cups of apple sauce, 1 cup of date syrup, 1 cup of plant milk, 1 1/2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. For the dry ingredients, combine 3 cups of homemade oat flour, 2 cups of almond flour, 1 1/8 cups of cocoa powder, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. These ingredients work together to create a rich and moist cake base.
To assemble the cake, first, bake the batter in two 8-inch parchment-lined pans at 350°F for 20-25 minutes. Once cooled, prepare the chocolate frosting by blending cocoa powder, vanilla extract, medjool dates, nut butter, and hot water until smooth. For the German chocolate frosting, mix date paste, shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and vanilla extract. Layer the cakes with the German chocolate frosting, and then cover the entire cake with chocolate frosting, finishing it off with a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top. This plant-based German Chocolate Cake is sure to impress both vegans and non-vegans alike!

So have you ever had an oil-free refined sugar-free and gluten-free German chocolate cake well I was asked by lots of people to make one so I did and today I’m going to show you how to make your own all right so let’s talk about the ingredients we’re going to use for this highly requested uh German chocolate cake uh for the base we’re going to use.
Some oat flour we’re going to use some almond flour we’re going to use some unsweetened applesauce I’m going to use some Walnut milk you could use any plant milk you prefer going to use some apple cider vinegar some dates syrup some cocoa some vanilla bean powder now you could use vanilla bean extract I like to use the powder it has more flavor I get.
A really a nice brand of vanilla bean powder there and then we’re going to have some baking soda and some baking powder as well now keep in mind these ingredients might look a little more substantial than you would think but we’re making two cakes here this is a double layer cake so this is enough ingredients to make two different cakes.
If you wanted to tone it down some you can make a single layer cake but you know German chocolate cakes typically are double layered and that’s what we’re doing today as far as the oat flour now what I do is I buy an organic glyphosate certified free and gluten certified free um brand of Oats I talk about the brand of Oats that I use in my apps I talk.
About all brands that I prefer strongly in my app so you can check it out there at hre eating.com U so I ground my own now it’s not as finely ground as you would you know as an oat flour that you would get in the store but it definitely will suffice so that is one option if you want to make sure that you’re getting gluten-free glyphosate free oats.
Um that won’t give you issues uh then you can check out the brand that I use in my app or use your favorite brand all right so these are ingredients we’re going to use to make this delicious as I said I just this is a recipe that’s been requested almost as much as any that’s why I’m doing it let’s start putting this German chocolate cake together all.
Right so I’m going to start by combining my wet ingredients together and then getting them Blended really well now typically this process would start with eggs butter or oil and refined white sugar but here starting with much healthier Alternatives that will give us the same delicious taste okay and now it’s the same process.
For the dry ingredients I’m just going to get them all combined and then blend them in together now an interesting fact is that it turns out that German chocolate cake is not German at all it actually got the name from an American Baker Samuel German who had developed a kind of baking chocolate that was called German.
Sweet chocolate that was used over a century later in in a widely published recipe that recipe was called Germans chocolate cake if you’re enjoying this video please like And subscribe below just right okay so now we have our cake portions ready for the oven and while they’re baking we’re going to.
Throw together some delicious German chocolate frosting Okay so now we’re actually going to make a couple of different frostings for this cake the first we’re going to do is a traditional chocolate frosting now to make that I’m going to use some hot water here that I got pretty hot it doesn’t have to be boiling.
Hot but you want it somewhat hot to help make this a nice creamy frosting I’m going to be using some dates some Nut Butter uh some vanilla bean powder and some cocoa now keep in mind if this was a traditional cake you would see things like uh butter and refined sugar up here but we’re not using those ingredients to make this a truly healthy vegan cake all.
Right let’s start putting this icing together okay so this is my go-to chocolate frosting it contains really simple ingredients but the result is a silky smooth fudgy chocolate and it’s so simple to make uh if you were someone you know has an allergy to nuts dis frosting can also be made with tahini instead of nut.
butter So lately I’ve received several emails and DMS asking for my opinion on supplements and in particular creatine now I first heard great things on Creatine several years ago but I was skeptical and thought it was just the latest fad for hard core weightlifters but once I started diving into the.
Science behind it I realized that creatine is actually a supplement for overall health not just physical performance although it’s great for building muscle What drew me to it is that it supports the entire body and mind creatine has been shown to help with energy production recovery after the workouts and even mental Clarity and.
There are additional benefits like improve bone health and support for cognitive and reproductive Health that makes creatine a smart investment in my future health not just a short-term uh performance booster now if you read about creatine you’ll find that one of the main concerns like many supplements is product Purity many supplement.
Companies sell products that include sketchy fillers and vague labels however complement creatine uh has just one ingredient micronized creatine monohydrate sourced from Germany which is some of the best in the world every batch is third-party tested for Purity and they actually publish their results right on their website and this kind of.
Transparency is rare in the supplement World compliment creatine dissolves quickly and completely and water or smoothies with no weird texture or taste and it’s also vegan and crueltyfree and you can check out this product by tapping in the descriptions below now let’s get back to this recipe all right so now to make the more traditional.
German chocolate cake frosting we’re going to use some date paste uh some organic uh shredded coconut some peans pecans whichever you prefer um some vanilla bean powder and then some nut butter now for the vanilla bean powder you could use vanilla extract also so the powder is just my preference um with the pecans I’ve lightly toasted mine if.
You’re worried about acry amides or for whatever reason you prefer raw pecans you could use those as well these are the things we’re going to use for that particular frosting let’s put it together so German chocolate cake frosting is typically made with eggs butter and evaporated milk which creates a kind of custardy consistency but of.
Course we’re putting a healthy vegan Twist on this one by simply using dates to make the date paste and that date paste will create a delicious ious caramel Flavor now if you want to create a bit of a thinner consistency you can add some plant milk until your desired consistency is achieved all right so now I’ve got my.
Cakes um out of the oven I’m going to let them sit here and just cool for about 10 minutes then I’m going to transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling before we add our frosting all right so I prepared everything that we need to put this into one delicious German chocolate cake which is what I’m about to do brighten.
It now if you decide to make your filling thinner be sure not to over thin it as it will make the stacking of the cakes a little trickier all right so I’m just adding the filling in between the layers nice and evenly then I’m going to gently add my second cake layer and next is my favorite part the frosting so we’re just going to start by adding a.
Thin layer of the chocolate frosting on the top uh now we don’t need a lot of frosting here because we will be topping it with more of the German chocolate cake frosting then it’s time to get the frosting on the sides now I’m carefully adding the final frosting on top taking care not to press too hard since we have the chocolate frosting underneath and.
Finally a Sprinkle of coconut as the final touch all right that’s always my favorite part of the process when making the cake is doing the frosting and now that the cake is decorated there’s only one thing left and that’s a taste test for you of course if you’re enjoying this video please.
Like And subscribe below all right so we’re all done and I can’t wait to taste this beautiful piece of cake a quick reminder though I do want to remind everyone that this is a high calorie dessert and even though I have this gigantic piece here that I’m probably not going to eat all of in one sitting you want to be very mindful when.
You’re making a dessert like this of portion control so I’m not advocating that you have a piece this big although you could if you wanted to let’s have a taste so good with all all of the unhealthy ingredients and steal all the flavor absolutely love it all right if you’re.
