Steps to make Vegan chocolate cake:
To a medium bowl, add the milk and vinegar, and give it a mix. You will see it starts to curdle, by doing this we are creating a vegan buttermilk.
Place a sieve over a large bowl, sift all the dry ingredients through it. Mix together. - To the same large bowl, add the buttermilk and all wet ingredients. Mix until there are no lumps left, but make sure to not over mix.
Grease a (20 cm) round cake pan with oil and line the bottom with a cut-out round piece of parchment paper. - Put in the cake batter and bake in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes at 180°C.
Meanwhile, make the frosting. To a large bowl, add the butter, sift in the cacao powder, and add the vanilla, and mix with an electric or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. - Alternate between adding sifted powdered sugar and plant-based milk to the bowl, until well combined. - Using a spatula, fold in the melted chocolate, make sure to let it cool off a little bit before adding.
Once your cake is done baking, let it cool off for 10 minutes in the cake pan before transferring to a cooling rack to let it cool off completely. - If you like, you can level your cake with a serrated knife to create a flat surface for stacking the cakes on top of each other.
Using a spatula or butter knife, spread out a thick layer of frosting on one of the cakes. - Place the second cake on top and frost with the leftover frosting, you can even create a pattern if you like. - Decorate the chocolate cake with berries of your choice and some mint leaves, and enjoy!
Notes - Storage: best if enjoyed immediately. The cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. - Variations: top the cake with any fruits of your choice, or add some nuts for example.
