Chocolate Vegan Death Cake
(The Grit Restaurant Cookbook, Jessica Greene & Ted Hafer)Best cake ever!
CAKE:
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups strong brewed coffee
1/4 cup cider vinegar
ICING:
1 12 oz package firm silken tofu
3 cups vegan chocolate chips -- (many semi-sweet brands contain no dairy)
To prepare cake:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 3 9-inch round cake pans, dust with flour, and line bottom with parchment or wax paper.
- Sift together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add oil and vanilla extract.
- With electric mixer on low speed, blend until fully combined. With mixer on medium speed, gradually blend in coffee. When mixture is smooth, add vinegar and blend on low speed just until combined.
- Divide batter evenly into prepared pans.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or just until a knife or toothpick inserted in the center of layers comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool 15 to 20 minutes on a wire rack. Remove from pans and allow layers to cool completely before icing.
To prepare icing:
- Drain excess fluid from silken tofu, crush, and place on a medium saucepan with chocolate chips.
- Stir together over medium heat until chocolate is very soft.
- Transfer to food processor and puree until fully blended. Cool to spreadable consistency and frost between layers and top and sides of cake.
