This recipe for vegan chocolate cake has no milk, egg or butter. We have used our Oat Cocoa that goes perfect with the cake. And then we have used vegan butter and omitted the eggs. And don’t worry – it will still be airy and delicious inside. We have also added a bit of amaretto (almond liquor) and flaky sea salt to the frosting and it is sooo good. If you don’t like the amaretto, you can just leave it out.

Wow. We have eaten more of this cake than we will admit. But it is hard to stop eating when it smells and taste that good. Just one more piece. And one more. If you want to present it in an even more festive way, maybe for a birthday party or something like that, you can decorate it with candy, chocolates and fruit on top. No one will guess that it is vegan and they will for sure be impressed.
