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.

Hello,
My grandma asked for the recipe after I baked it for her. She wants to surprise her scrabble-friends with a vegan cake. So it’s actually more like a six stars cake! Thank you for helping me spreading veganism hehe!

You are very welcome.

Can this be made with whole wheat flour?
Richa
Yes. You’ll need a few tbsp less flour. Also add jn another 2 tbsp oil
Manuela Almeida
I just made it! It is so delicious that I don’t even have words to describe it.
Richa
Awesome!!!
Sean Venegas
I can not believe you actually live near that Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Factory. I have not made these brownies yet, Plan on making the Tiramisu Cheescake brownies first as I have some tofu. Let me know if you perfected the art of molten chocolate lava cakes! thank you, Sean

Hey Richa! That really looks good. Now I’m really craving for chocolates right now because of that oh-so-rich-chocolate-jar!
sophiesfoodiefiles

Richa
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.
Antonio Sergio Sena
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!
Richa
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…
Richa
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.,
Lovlie
OMG this looks exquisite! So gooey, chocolatey… Will definitely give this a go! Salted caramel is something I have yet to try…
Richa
Give it a try. you will keep drizzling it on everything:)
mjskit

Kristy
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!
Richa
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:)
GiGi
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.
Richa
yeah i know.. i am totally over those mason jar cakes.. i make some at midnight and eat them. its getting ridiculous!
Elsa
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!
Terra
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
Richa
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:)
Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies
Oh my goodness, I think I could eat the whole thing myself! I’ve been experimenting with a vegan caramel sauce too and I’ve come up with something very similar to what you have, which makes me feel a little more confident in my recipe. 🙂
Richa
thanks Kiersten. the caramel sauce is insanely good! 😉
Karen
Wow that looks great. I appreciate the whole flours in it too!
Richa
Thanks Karen. I dont even have any AP flour left at home:) all that whole flour also makes it even more guiltfree 🙂
Richgail @AstigVegan
I was gona say, how could you NOT be a fan of chocolate??!!! hehe I’m just bias. I’m glad you gave chocolate a shot though. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have this delicious recipe to follow. I’m melting just looking at the pictures.
Richa
I think i am going to regret it. i am making the mocha every other day, have a large jar of salted caramel and have a bunch of frozen take-n-bakes in the freezer now!
Genevieve
I’ve never been a chocolate lover either – I usually think chocolate cake is either too rich or made from a boxed mix which I find a bit dry and boring. But I do like caramel and coffee flavours, so I bet I would love this cake! It looks so moist and still on the healthier side!
Richa
the caramel balances it very well. You can also reduce the chocolate in it and make a lighter mocha and it would still be deliciously good!

Superb Richa, Wonderful presentation!!
