    Author: Dora Brewster
    Serves: 1 cake
    Ingredients
    Ganache
    • 1 cup vanilla dairy-free creamer (such as So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer Barista Style French Vanilla)
    • 12 oz dairy-free chocolate chips*
    Cake
    • 2-3/4 cup all-purpose flour (I use King Arthur)
    • 2 cups sugar
    • ¾ cup cocoa powder
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ⅔ cup vanilla dairy-free yogurt (such as So Delicious Vanilla Cultured Coconut Milk Yogurt)
    • 1 cup unsweetened milk alternative (such as So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage)
    • ½ cup oil**
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 1 cup boiling water
    Frosting
    • 3 sticks of Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Spread (softened)
    • 2 pounds (7-1/2 cups) confectioner's sugar
    • 6 to 7 tablespoons vanilla dairy-free creamer (such as So Delicious Coconut Milk Creamer Barista Style French Vanilla)
    Instructions
    Ganache
    1. You are making the Ganache first as it needs time to set
    2. In a small sauce pan warm creamer until it begins to boil.
    3. Place chocolate in a bowl and pour warm creamer over top. Stir until smooth. Set aside for later.
    Cake
    1. Preheat oven 350ºF. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
    2. Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
    3. Add yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla, and mix until blended.
    4. Slowly add boiling water and mix well.
    5. Pour into prepared pans.
    6. Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
    7. Remove from oven, cool for 10 minutes.
    8. Put cake on plates. Cool completely.
    Frosting
    1. Cream buttery spread.
    2. Slowly mix in confectioner's sugar.
    3. Add creamer one tablespoon at a time to achieve desired consistency.
    Assembly
    1. Put frosting on top of 1st layer (thick)
    2. Top with top layer.
    3. Frost cake, top should be thick.
    4. Stir Ganache.
    5. Drizzle ganache on sides of cake.
    6. Carefully, cover top with ganache.
    7. Let cake sit for an hour or two to completely set.
    Notes
    I use 365 brand from Whole Foods (Editor's Note: Enjoy Life or Dream may be better options where milk allergies are a concern)
    *I use Spectrum Walnut Oil (Editor's Note: Can use canola or grapeseed oil for nut-free)
