Ingredients Cake: ∙ 3 cups all-purpose flour (360g) ∙ ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (50g) ∙ 2 teaspoons baking soda ∙ 1 teaspoon salt ∙ 2 cups granulated sugar (400g) ∙ 1 cup soy milk (240ml) ∙ ¾ cup neutral oil (180ml) ∙ 2 tablespoons white vinegar ∙ 1 tablespoon vanilla extract ∙1 cup boiling water or hot coffee (240ml) Chocolate Buttercream: ∙ 1 cup unsalted vegan butter, softened (227g) ∙ ½ cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted (56g) ∙ 3 ¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted (390g) ∙ ¼ teaspoon salt ∙ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ∙ 3 to 5 tablespoons soy milk (45–75ml) Instructions Cake: 1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line two 8-inch round pans with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, add the water or coffee, and mix together until just combined. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. 4. Bake for 27 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully invert them onto a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely before frosting. Chocolate Buttercream: 1. In a large bowl with a hand mixer (or stand mixer with paddle attachment), add the softened vegan butter. Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes until smooth. Stop and scrape down the bowl as needed. 2. On low speed, add cocoa powder and powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until just combined. 3. Mix for 5 minutes. Add salt, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons soy milk while mixing. If a thinner consistency is desired, add more milk. Assembly: 1. Place a cooled cake layer on a cake stand. Spread about 1 cup of frosting in an even layer. Top with second layer, and spread the rest of the frosting over the top and sides.
