Serves: 8

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups 2% milk or soymilk
• 2 eggs or equivalent egg replacement
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup vegan icing

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients. This includes the all-purpose flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Make sure everything is well combined.
2. In another medium bowl, blend all the wet ingredients, excluding the icing. This means combining the milk or soymilk, eggs (or egg replacement), vegetable oil, and water. Stir until everything is smoothly mixed.
3. Spray a 4-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking oil. This step ensures that the cake won’t stick to the cooker and makes for easier removal later.
4. Now, it’s time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir well until you have a consistent cake batter.
5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared slow cooker. Cover the cooker and set it to cook on medium-high heat for approximately 1 to 2 hours. The exact time may vary, so keep an eye on it. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Once your cake is cooked to perfection, remove it from the slow cooker. Now, for the pièce de résistance, cover your chocolate cake with the vegan icing. This step adds a layer of creamy sweetness that perfectly complements the rich chocolatey goodness.
