Vegan Chocolate Cake Recipe
If you remember I promised to share different recipes with aquafaba. First I shared 2 ingredient vegan mousse recipe at the beginning of summer. But this vegan cake recipe that I wanted to share a while ago was a little postponed with the coming of summer vegetables and fruits to the stage. But let's say it's not too late.
Many people have very sublime goals in life. Mine is quite simple; to feed. I don't know the underlying psychological foundation, but the times when I feed people or help them to feed themselves are the happiest moments of my life. It's not just a desire to cook and put it in front of someone. If it was that he best thing I would do would be to open a restaurant. The part of food that interests me is more about solving nutritional problems. For example, to make someone who hates zucchini to start to like it, or to prepare a food at home which is normally sold just in stores, or to produce recipes that do not contain allergens for those who have allergies. This recipe was emerged with this motive. I have shared many vegan recipes to date. Making vegan cookies or pound cakes is not too difficult. But it is not the same for birthday cakes. I just wanted children with allergies to eat a decent cake at their birthdays.
Banana, raspberry, strawberry, sour cherry, etc. You can make a fruity chocolate cake by putting those fruits in and/or on top of the cake. You can decorate the cake in a more colorful way. I am one of the most incompetent people in the world i decorating cakes. So I stopped trying my luck a long time ago. I leave the cake in its simplest form so as not to distort the cake with my bad ideas.
Enjoy the recipe...
