Vegan Double Chocolate Cakes for Two
What is Valentine’s Day without chocolate?! These Mini Double Chocolate Cakes are so easy to make, chocolatey, fluffy, delicious, and perfect to surprise that special someone in your life!
I know baking can be a little bit intimidating sometimes, so I made this recipe super EASY! No special ingredients or steps and the result is amazing!
A few tips
I added Belgian dark chocolate chunks I found at ALDI to my mix, chocolate chips, or even a chocolate bar chopped into pieces can work as well.
The perfect topping for these cakes is a ball of ice cream! I am a huge fan of the brand So Delicious for vegan ice creams.
The almond milk can be replaced with any other plant milk like oat or soy.
My strawberry sauce is delicious and simple to make. I always have frozen berries for smoothies and oatmeal, but if you have fresh strawberries it will taste even better. You can also use blueberries or raspberries.
Do not rush the process! Cakes without eggs and dairy take a little bit longer to bake, don’t open the oven before at least 20 minutes to see if they’re ready.
