One afternoon, I was seriously craving something sweet and chocolatey, not like a fudgy brownie, but lighter and fluffier. Just a light and fluffy chocolate cake that was rich enough to satisfy my cravings. Oh and I didn’t have any eggs in the fridge. Well then a vegan cake it is! :)
When I served it to my mom and mentioned that it was vegan, she immediately turned up her nose and protested why I wouldn’t make a ‘real’ cake. Same thing happened with my bf. His first reaction was ‘Mmmh’ when he saw the cake, followed by ‘Ugh’ as I said really proud that it was vegan. Never would I have thought that the substitution of butter and eggs would be such a big deal in my family!
When it came to the taste test, no one was missing any of the ‘real’ ingredients they had so strongly insisted on before. It was a hit and it was all gone the next day. What were you saying about ‘real’ cakes, Mom?!
After this long introduction about vegan skepticism, I hope that you will be brave enough to try this recipe (even if you are not vegan) ;)
The recipe is a really easy one-bowl recipe. The vegan chocolate loaf is very moist and light and the peanut butter swirl topping adds a nice saltiness to it. One slice of the cake is enough to satisfy your sweet cravings as it is very rich from the cocoa powder.
