Tips For Making Chocolate Raspberry Cake
Equally Pour Your Cake Batter
Make sure that you pour the same amount of batter into each tin so that cook at the same speed. Otherwise one may be undercooked and one may be overcooked.
Don't Over Mix The Cake Batter
This will result in you have a dense chocolate cake and nobody wants that.

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt

Raspberry Glaze:
- 160 g powdered sugar sifted
- 5 teaspoons water
- 12 g raspberries squashed with spoon
Instructions
Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 177 Celsius (350F).
- To finish the preparation, grease two 20cm x 10cm loaf cake tins with vegan butter then set aside.
Make the cake:
- Mix the apple cider vinegar into the soy milk to make your vegan buttermilk. Let it curdle for 8 minutes before you use it. Measure out all your other cake ingredients while you wait.
- To a bowl, add the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, light brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix to combine.
- Once it has curdled, add the soy milk to the dry ingredients along with the canola oil, vanilla extract and maple syrup. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients without over mixing.
- Equally, pour the chocolate cake batter into the two greased cake tins. Bake them in the centre of your oven for 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Allow the chocolate raspberry cakes to cool in the tins for 15 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Make the glaze:
- Add your powdered sugar to a small bowl then add the water one teaspoon at a time. The glaze will have a very thick consistency.
- In another small bowl, squash the raspberries with the bottom of a fork until they become juicy. Mix the raspberries into the glaze until it turns a bright pink colour.
- Spoon the raspberry glaze over the chocolate cakes.
