The best ever chocolate cake, that happens to be Vegan too. Remember if you’re making this for Vegans, most regular sprinkles aren’t actually Vegan due to the food colouring used in them. You can also make it without the glaze and decorate with a regular butter cream icing. Made with coconut oil, however, the glaze is so tasty, we have trouble stopping at one slice!

The best ever chocolate cake, that happens to be Vegan too. Remember if you’re making this for Vegans, most regular sprinkles aren’t actually Vegan due to the food colouring used in them. You can also make it without the glaze and decorate with a regular butter cream icing. Made with coconut oil, however, the glaze is so tasty, we have trouble stopping at one slice!

- 1 cup sugar (200g)
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (50g)

- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water (250g)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (70g)
- 1 tsp distilled white or apple cider vinegar

Instructions
Regular Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180C)
- Mix together the ingredients for the cake and blend well.
- Pour it into your baking dish or shaped silicone mould.
- Place in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick popped in the middle comes out clean.
- Take out and allow to cool totally.
- For the glaze, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, coconut oil (or margarine), milk, and cocoa to a boil. Stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It’ll look gloppy, but it’s just the bubbles!
- Remove from heat and stir vigorously.
- Add vanilla, stir, and immediately pour onto cake.
- The glaze dries really quickly, so spread it immediately and add any sprinkles now.
- Leave aside to cool thoroughly, about an hour.
- Enjoy!
