Dark Chocolate Cake

Оглавление

Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:

1¾ cups pastry flour (use whole wheat pastry flour if you have it)

1 ½ cups dark chocolate (either dark chocolate chips or bars broken into small pieces)

¾ cup milk (soy milk or almond milk may be substituted if desired)

½ cup apple juice or apple cider

½ cup maple syrup

¼ cup canola oil

2 ½ tbsp flax seeds

1 tbsp baking powder

2 tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 350 F. Oil a 9” cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pastry flour, salt and baking powder; mix well and set aside. Grind the flax seeds in a blender or coffee grinder until they’re powdered. Add the oil, apple juice or cider, vanilla extract and maple syrup to the blender and blend until thoroughly combined.

In a saucepan, heat the milk (or soy or almond milk) and chocolate over low heat for about 4 minutes or until the chocolate is melted. Add the chocolate mixture and the flax seed mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well until a smooth batter is formed.

Pour your batter into the cake pan and bake for 40 – 45 minutes; you’ll be able to tell the cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least half an hour before removing from the pan. Serve either plain or frosted, if desired.
