Wacky Cake (Vegan Chocolate Cake)

Ingredients

What I like most about this chocolate cake without egg, butter, and milk is that it doesn't taste like "without" like the vegan lemon cake or vegan nut cake. Even allergy sufferers can eat it with confidence. Because who is allergic to cow's milk or egg, must do without a moist chocolate sheet cake etc. almost always (unless he knows my clean eating chocolate cake 😉 ).

How to make the Wacky Cake

Recipe Recommendation

Chocolate Spice Cake

A famous classic cake for the cold season, this easy spice cake is made wonderfully moist and flavorful with ground almonds and dark chocolate!

Check out this recipe!

First of all, preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Grease a small springform pan (approx. 8 in / 20 cm) and dust with some cocoa. Mix all dry baking ingredients in a bowl. Whisk the wet ingredients - water, melted coconut butter, vinegar - and add to the dry ingredients. Stir in briefly and vigorously. Pour dough into a pan, smooth out, and bake for about 35-40 minutes.

Now, let the cake cool, cover it with dark chocolate glaze, and decorate it with colorful sprinkles. Glaze and sprinkles should not be omitted because the cake tastes so delicious.

Top Tip

In addition to its brilliant texture and taste, this moist vegan chocolate cake is also easy and quick to prepare. You theoretically don't even need a mixing bowl and a mixer. The dough is mixed directly in the baking pan in the original wacky cake recipe. However, the German crazy cake in the "baking for happiness"-style is made "quite normally" with a bowl, dough scraper, food processor, and Co.

Hopefully, with the pictures, I can convince one or two skeptics that a vegan chocolate cake without egg, butter, milk, and even without chocolate can be really delicious 😉 . There is only cocoa in the dough and I used dark chocolate for the optional icing.
