There are a million and one recipes available for cakes, chocolate cakes and vegan cakes – I am sharing one of mine that has worked well for me.
Chocolate & Coconut Cake

75ml water
250ml melted coconut oil
175ml coconut milk
375ml cake flour
5ml baking powder
30ml cocoa powder
50ml desiccated coconut
175ml castor sugar
Method
- Heat oven to 180 degrees and grease a 900g loaf pan or a similar size pan of your choice
- Place flax meal in a small bowl and slowly add the water – ensuring that you stir while adding the water
- Whisk the coconut milk and oil till well combined and set aside
- Sift the flour, baking powder and cocoa into a large mixing bowl and add in the coconut and castor sugar and mix well
- Now pour in the oil mixture followed by the flax meal mixture and stir until well blended – pour into the greased baking pan and bake for 35-40minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean
- Allow cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to completely cool
- Serve it as is or with a dusting of icing sugar and cocoa or with some melted vegan chocolate or a vegan buttercream frosting – however you serve it – you are bound to enjoy it
For A Marble Effect
- Add the cocoa to half the mixture and keep the other half plain, and pour bits of the mixture alternately into baking pan
- Using a skewer swirl lightly to create a marble effect.
