Pareve Chocolate Cake Recipes

DAIRY FREE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add black coffee, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. It should look very thin and liquidy.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF or 175ºC.
• Line the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Distribute cake batter evenly between the pans.
• Wrap a wet baking strips around each pan for flatter cakes if desired. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the chocolate cake comes out clean.
• Let cool for 10 minutes. Then carefully run a knife around the edge of the pans to release the cakes. Remove from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack.
• Use a bread knife to level cakes. Frost with dairy free chocolate frosting.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DEEP, DARK PAREVE CHOCOLATE CAKE!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*.
• Beat eggs and oil together in large bowl with electric mixer.
• Add sugar and vanilla and beat until well-mixed.
• In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cocoa together.
• Slowly add dry ingredients to large bowl with liquids, scraping down occasionally, until evenly moistened.
• Slowly add coffee, pouring over the mixture. It may splash / splatter initially - that's why you're using a big bowl - but will gradually take on a nice, smooth consistency.
• Pour mixture into a greased, 9 x 13 pan.
• Bake 1 hour at 350* until cake tests clean with skewer or knife.
