Ingredients
  

Vegan Chocolate Loaf

  • 1 ¼ cup almond or oat milk regular milk works if not vegan
  • ¾ cup melted vegan butter regular butter works if not vegan
  • 1 cup cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional, for extra chocolate flavor, use regular or vegan

Vegan Frosting Recipe

  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon softened vegan butter regular butter works if not vegan
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk regular milk works if not vegan
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
 

Super Easy & Moist Vegan Chocolate Loaf Cake

  • Preheat oven to 375. In one bowl, use a fork to mix the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, almond or oat milk, cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, mix in the flour until just combined. Be careful not to over work your batter or the cake will become dense. Option to fold in chocolate chips. Transfer the batter into your baking pan.
  • Bake your loaf for 30-40 minutes (oven times vary) or 25-30 minutes for a round cake pan. Be careful not to over bake this loaf or it will become dry. When you remove it from the oven, it might seem soft in the very center but once you allow it to cool it will be done in the middle and super moist. While baking, use a whisk or hand mixer to mix your frosting ingredients!
  • Once the loaf is done, allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes and then spread the frosting over it. Enjoy!
