Vegan and Berry Chocolate Cake


This is almost the same as the vegan chocolate cake I posted before, but I added berries. I did a combination of raspberries and cherries, but really any berry would be fine. I’ll make it with blueberries some time too.

You can double the recipe and make two cakes, then put frosting between the layers.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour
½ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup ground almonds
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 pinch salt
3/4  cup soy milk
175 g (about 6 ounces) tofu
2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra for the baking tin
1 cup berries

Instructions:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl or food processor.
2. Add the soy milk to the dry ingredients and mix again.
3. Blend the tofu in a blender until creamy. Add the oil and mix again.
4. Add the tofu to the other ingredients. Mix well. Add the berries last.
5. Oil the baking tin (or line with greaseproof or parchment paper). Pour the batter in.
6. Bake at 180 C for about 20 minutes. Frost if desired.
