This heavenly vegan chocolate cake is actually a really old recipe of mine. It's from my Estonian vegan dessert cookbook, which was published on 2014. I've made this wonderfully easy cake countless of times. It's definitely my go-to recipe, when I want a no fuzz vegan cake recipe that is actually divinely satisfying. It's basically pure chocolate and you can feel it with every bite. A true chocoholic's dream! I've never met a person who didn't enjoy this decadent treat. What's even better - you can easily make this cake gluten-free by using gluten-free cookies.
Serves: 9,4 inch / 24 cm round cake pan
Time: 15 minutes plus time in the fridge
Cookie crust:
- 7 oz / 200 g vegan Digestive cookies (or vegan gluten-free cookies)
- 3 ½ oz / 100 g vegan margarine or some coconut fat
Chocolate topping (ganache):
- 14 oz / 400 g dark vegan chocolate (bar or chips)
- 14 oz / 400 g can coconut milk
Directions:
Crush the cookies and mix them with margarine or coconut fat. Grease a round cake pan and cover the bottom with a parchment paper. Pour in the cookie mixture and press it down with your hands. Put the crust into a fridge, until you prepare the chocolate topping.
Put the chocolate pieces or chips into a bowl. Bring coconut milk to a boil and pour the hot milk onto the chocolate. Stir, until you have an even and creamy mixture. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes and then pour it onto the cookie crust. Let the cake set in the fridge for a few hours or over night. Enjoy! If you want, you can decorate it with nuts, berries or vegan whipped cream.
