After getting my hands on a new bundt tin the other day, I couldn’t not test out a new recipe! This vegan mocha bundt cake is moist, fluffy and includes an in-credible chocolate espresso glaze!
Bundt cakes are ideal for special occasions, as for the most part, they’re pretty sizeable cakes and also look rather impressive as a dinner party centre piece. They also don’t require a great deal of garnishing or intricate cake decorating; they’re beautiful just as they are! This is probably my favourite way to style them: a simple chocolate glaze and mixed fresh berry filling. It’s super quick, yet still looks really striking!
What will you need to make vegan mocha bundt cake?
- Oat flour: This recipe calls for two different types of flour. I love this combination and including the oat flour, as I find it helps to illuminate any powdery texture from the GF flour and keeps the cake nice and fluffy!
- GF self raising flour: As this recipe is gluten free, I’ve used a GF self raising blend. This helps give the cake a decent rise and has been a game changer in my GF & vegan recipes!
- Good quality cocoa/cacao powder: When baking anything chocolatey, It’s important to try and get your hands on a good quality cocoa powder. This will help provide a really rich, indulgent flavour.
- Olive oil: As this recipe is plant based, there’s no dairy used and I’ve swapped out vegan butter for a light olive oil here. I like to use a light and mild variety, as I feel the flavour is less potent. I always recommend using olive oil in cakes, as it makes them extra fluffy!
- Espresso: Seeing as this is a mocha cake, a nice strong shot of espresso will also be key! You can opt for decaf here if preferred. (might be handy if you’re planning on enjoying this in the evening!)
