A Decadent Vegan Chocolate Dessert Cake with a Hint of Cinnamon
This delicious vegan chocolate cake checks off all the boxes!
I initially developed this recipe for my boyfriend’s birthday. Besides following a vegan diet, he’s also very sensitive to refined sugar. Even adding white sugar to tea or homemade lemonade will give him a headache. Since he’s such a strict vegan, honey is off the table, as well.
This recipe has very minimal refined sugar…none whatsoever in the cake, and only a small amount via the chocolate chips used in the icing (no confectioners sugar).
The recipe incorporates whole wheat flour, gives an unexpected boost of nutrients through SWEET POTATOES, and… it’s 100% vegan!
It’s suitable for a traditional two-layer birthday cake or dessert cake, or, choose to split the layers to create a show-stopping torte! And it’s super easy to make!
