Ingredients

Cake:

    Dry Ingredients:

    • 300 g Caster sugar
    • 160 g Vegan butter melted
    • 150 g All-purpose flour
    • 75 g Cocoa powder
    • Pinch of salt

    Wet Ingredients:

    • 3 Flax eggs 1 flax egg = 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal mixed in 3 Tbsp water
    • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup optional
    • 100 ml Plant milk

    Topping:

    • Icing sugar sifted (to taste) (optional)

    Instructions

    • Grease a 7 or 8 inch springform (square or circular). I used a square. Set aside. 
    • Preparing the cake: Make your flax eggs by mixing the flaxseed meal and water. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes to thicken.
    • After placing the flax eggs in the fridge, preheat your oven to 160C. 
    • Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the sugar, vegan butter, flour, cocoa and salt until combined.
    • Add in the maple syrup and flax eggs and mix until smooth. 
    • Baking the cake: Pour your cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. If you prefer your cake a little drier, try a few more minutes. If you prefer your cake a little runnier, try a few less minutes.
    • Let your vegan chocolate fudge cake cool, then sift on the powdered sugar if you wish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Store in the fridge for up to five days. Make sure that it is in an airtight container or covered well with clingfilm. You can also reheat if you'd prefer!
