How to make a Moist Mocha Cake. Drizzled with vegan salted caramel. Vegan Recipe.
Ingredients
Vegan Mocha Chocolate Cake
Wet:

- 2 Tbsp agave or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk , or non dairy milk plus a few drops of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
- 1.5 Tablespoon instant coffee, or substitute the 1/4 cup water above with 1/4 cup brewed coffee- preferably strong
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup raw sugar
- 2 Tablespoons flaxmeal
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips
Dry:
- 2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup Wheat flour
- 1/2 cup Oat flour, Use wheat flour or AP flour for less crumbly cake
- 1/4 cup raw Cashew ground
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce:
- 1/4 cup raw sugar ground, you can also use other sweeteners like coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon virgin coconut oil, melted
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon coconut milk or almond milk or non dairy milk
Instructions
Vegan Mocha Chocolate Cake
- Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F.
- In a bowl, add all of the wet ingredients, mix and warm in the microwave, or on stove top until just about hot to touch.
- Add in the chocolate chips or bar, and whisk until chocolate melts and is well combined.
- Let sit for 2 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix all the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. whisk well.
- Add the dry to the wet.
- Mix until just about combined.
- Pour batter in greased or parchment lined 8 inch pan.
- Bake at preheated 365 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick from the center comes out clean.
- Cool for a few minutes, then remove from pan. Cool completely before slicing.
- Before serving drizzle liberally with warm salted caramel!
Vegan Salted Caramel Sauce: inspired by Chef Chloe's recipe
- In a small saucepan, over medium heat, combine all ingredients( 1 Tablespoon coconut milk). stirring frequently. Once mixture comes together, increase heat to medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes, until it begins to boil and the bubbles move into the center of the caramel and it thickens just a little(a few more seconds). Remove from heat and let cool. Then pour this insanely delicious caramel over everything!

I think I am getting a chocolate addiction also because of the new Molten Chocolate Cakery in town.
They have this amazingly gooey, vegan dark chocolate, Take-n-Bake Molten Chocolate cake in a mason jar. Just take the lid off, bake and serve/eat. They also have vegan salted caramel in a jar, which is what I have been drizzling on my mocha cakes, and adding a dollop to the the batter some days too.
MMMMMMM,..I have made your cake & the cake was just beautiful & tasty too! 🙂 My husband & I also loved, loved the vegan salted caramel drizzles,…a lot! 🙂
Thank you for trying it out Sophie and loving it! love to hear that:) I tell ya, that salted caramel is a dangerous thing..:) too addictive.
Thumbs up for this delicious cake. Did this for family, yesterday. Ended up having to give the recipe to everyone. The texture, the flavours… the caramel on top. Its a winner. Thanks!
Thank you so much Antonio! This made my day! I am so glad that everyone loved it!:))
Hi Richa your recipes are amazing. Just want to know if there’s a nut flour-free substitute to cashew flour. You have used it in many of your recipes. Reply soon, can’t wait to try all those yummy treats…
it depends on the recipe. generally you can use ground up seeds like pumpkin, sunflower or watermelon seeds to replace the cashew flour. in some recipes, it can just be omitted.,
OMG this looks exquisite! So gooey, chocolatey… Will definitely give this a go! Salted caramel is something I have yet to try…
Give it a try. you will keep drizzling it on everything:)
to heck with supper – let’s just go straight to the dessert! WOW! What a dessert it is! Looks and smells delicious! Yes, with those pictures – I can definitely smell it! 🙂
Thanks!:)
wow nice taste dish
So, I just now woke up from my chocolate coma! Your molten chocolate cake looks super dreamy and those jars! Oh, those jars! I need to take a molten chocolate tour in Seattle ASAP!
Yes, you need to definitely stop by.. there is a tour which takes you to Theo’s chocolate factory and you can keep sampling in between. and then not want to leave at all:)
Gasp, not a chocolate lover, shhhh don’t tell anybody, I’m not usually either but don’t anybody, I need to make a living here. Lava cake! Lava cake in a mason jar, and vegan caramel a personal favorite. What fun, I’ve been wanting to do that too. Ooooh.
yeah i know.. i am totally over those mason jar cakes.. i make some at midnight and eat them. its getting ridiculous!
I think “Holy Deliciousness” is a great description of this dessert. I was thinking the exact same thing! 🙂 Thanks for sharing with Hearth and Soul!!
Oh my this would make any non chocolate person into a chocoholic! Especially topped with the salted caramel – totally drool worthy!
Oh this looks so moist and delicious! I love all the elements in this yummy cake, it looks so healthy, but yet WAY too delicious:-) Hugs, Terra
thanks Terra! its a great balance for sure.. all that dark chocolate anti-oxidants and whole grain. just some sugar rush which is god in moderation:)
