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, plus more for dusting
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp fine salt
1 ½ cups organic cane sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 cup plant-based milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup hot brewed coffee or hot water
½ cup neutral oil (such as canola oil or sunflower oil)
Chef's tip
Avocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
2 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the frosting

1 cup vegan butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tbsp plant-based milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
¼ tsp fine salt

For serving

vegan marshmallows, for topping (optional)
