Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 0.5 cups cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Frosting
  • 0.5 cups dairy-free chocolate buttercream

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Separate the batter into two bowls. In one bowl, leave the batter as is, and in the other, mix in additional cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batters into the prepared cake pan to create a marbled effect.
  2. Use a knife to swirl the batters together for a zebra pattern.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool completely before frosting with dairy-free chocolate buttercream.
