Ingredients

12 servings

For the cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp fine salt
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup dairy free milk
1 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
⅔ cup refined coconut oil, melted and cooled
1 cup hot water
2 tsp vanilla extract

For the frosting

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
10 oz dairy free chocolate chips
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 pinch fine salt

Instructions

1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with coconut oil, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and grease the parchment.
2
Stir the dairy free milk and vinegar together in a small bowl and set aside for 5 minutes until slightly curdled. This acts as a dairy-free buttermilk.
