    Vegan Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake with Dark Chocolate Espresso Glaze

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on April 30, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Leading up to Mother’s Day, I love to share some special treats, and this rich vegan dark chocolate bundt cake should do the trick. The cake itself is already made with chocoholics in mind, but it’s further elevated with an intense dark chocolate espresso glaze. The recipe was originally shared with us back in 2007 by Chef Claire Criscuolo (RN, CCP), but we’ve given it new life with a format update and some tips.

    Vegan Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake with Dark Chocolate Espresso Glaze Recipe - naturally dairy-free and egg-free!

    Vegan Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake with Dark Chocolate Espresso Glaze

    In 1975, Claire and her husband established Claire’s Corner Copia, a vegetarian restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut, and it’s still going strong. Their breakfast and lunch menus are filled with vegan options, and they have various sweets on rotation, including daily vegan desserts. In fact, Claire still makes bundt cakes regularly. You might even spot mini versions of this vegan dark chocolate bundt cake on display. But even if you aren’t in the New Haven area, you can enjoy this recipe. Here are a couple of quick notes before you get started.

    • Cocoa Powder: This recipe uses quite a bit of cocoa, and uses baking powder instead of baking soda, so be sure to use Dutch-processed cocoa powder. It’s darker, sweeter, and less bitter than natural cocoa powder because the acidity has been removed. Popular brands of Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder include Hershey’s Special Dark, Whole Foods 365, Anthony’s Culinary, and Ghirardelli Majestic.
    • Tofu: Don’t worry, if you can’t do soy, I have a soy-free option below. If you can, Mori-nu is a popular silken tofu brand. It’s technically shelf-stable, but some stores sell it refrigerated, just so it’s with the other tofu. If you don’t see it with the other tofu, look for it on the shelf in the Asian section of your grocer. When blended, the soft version of silken tofu is like a cream.
    • Espresso: Technically, it can be optional. The espresso adds more depth of flavor to the glaze, complements the chocolate, and will be loved by coffee fans. But if you don’t have it on hand, you can omit it. The glaze will still be intensely chocolate and delicious.

    Special Diet Notes: Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally nut-free, peanut-free, vegan, and vegetarian.

    For a soy-free dark chocolate bundt cake, you can substitute 1 cup full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream for the tofu. Or you can pour one 14-ounce can of full fat coconut milk into a glass measuring cup and add water to reach 2 cups. Use this in place of both the milk beverage and tofu.

    This deep, dark, rich cake is perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. Complementary espresso adds depth to the rich chocolate glaze. But if you aren't a coffee fan, you can omit it.

    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup bundt pan.
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until all clumps of cocoa are combined.
    3. Add the tofu, milk beverage, oil, and almond extract to your blender, and puree until smooth.
    4. Pour the blended ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Fold in the almond slices (if using).

    6. Scrape the batter into your prepared pan and even it out.
    7. Bake the cake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    8. Let the cake sit for about 2 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a cake dish. Let the cake cool to room temperature.
