Ingredients For Simple Vegan Chocolate Cake
Staying true to it’s name, this no-fuss recipe calls for very basic ingredients. Some recipes you will find on the internet will require ingredients like apple sauce and vegan butter but that is not the case here. You only need simple kitchen staples like maida, sugar, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, vinegar, etc. I use brown sugar here because your regular white sugar is not always vegan. The brown sugar also makes the cake more moist. I use vegetable oil for this recipe. It is not only vegan but also makes the cake softer. Make sure you use a good quality cocoa powder for the cake.
