A rich and moist vegan chocolate cake layered with creamy peanut butter frosting, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a dairy-free treat.

Ingredients

  • Oil or vegan butter (for pan)
  • 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or cooked and cooled sweet potato puree)
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp instant espresso or coffee powder
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cane or granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 4–7 tablespoon unsweetened non dairy milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease a cake pan with oil or vegan butter and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, applesauce, apple cider vinegar, and espresso powder.
  3. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  7. For the frosting, beat peanut butter, salt, powdered sugar, and non-dairy milk until smooth, adding milk gradually to reach desired consistency. Spread evenly over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Use sweet potato puree as an alternative to applesauce for a slightly richer flavor.
  • Adjust frosting thickness by adding more or less non-dairy milk.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • Serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra indulgence.
