EASY Chocolate Sheet Cake with Chocolate Frosting - VEGAN, Gluten free, No oil, No refined sugar

MMMM..Vegan Chocolate Sheet Cake with Chocolate frosting is the BEST THING EVER! This cake is so soft and moist and has the perfect amount of sweetness (without any added refined sugar) and flavor (without any vegan butter or oil). The frosting is the EASIEST thing to make and is super creamy; there’s even a WFPB version for the frosting as well if you don’t like coconut cream (used for the frosting only). This is DEFINITELY a crowd pleaser that everyone will absolutely love.
------------------------------------
Ingredients:
For the frosting:
2 cups vegan chocolate chips
1/2 cup chilled coconut cream (scooped up - no liquid)
1/4 tsp vanilla bean extract

WFPB frosting:
1 cup pitted medjool dates
1 cup + 1 tbsp almond milk
1/4 cocoa powder
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

For the cake
1.5 cup gluten free flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla bean extract
1/2 cup non dairy milk
1/2 cup instant coffee
1 cup maple syrup
3 tbsp non dairy yogurt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. To make the frosting using coconut cream, chill a can of coconut cream overnight. When ready to make the frosting, scoop up only the top fat of the cream (about 1/2 cup)
2. Boil some water in a medium saucepan and set up a double boiler (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water). Melt the coconut cream and chocolate together.
3. Once most of the chocolate is melted, remove from heat and mix until completely melted. Mix in the vanilla bean extract and chill for 2-3 hours until firm.
4. Preheat oven to 350º and line a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick parchment paper
5. Start by curdling your milk by adding 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to 1/2 cup of non dairy milk (I used almond milk) - this will act as ‘buttermilk’. Set aside
6. Sift and combine all the dry ingredients and set aside
7. Combine all the wet ingredients, including the curdled milk
8. Slowly add a little bit of wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix. Repeat until all the dry ingredients and wet ingredients are fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
9. Transfer mixture to baking sheet. Tap on the counter 3-4 times to remove any air bubbles
10. Bake in the oven 14-15 minutes
11. Let cool completely in the pan before transferring to cooling rack
12. When you’re ready to frost your cake, remove the chilled chocolate and coconut cream mixture
13. Using a hand mixer, whip until smooth. If it’s too firm, then add 1-2 tbsp of warm non dairy milk. It should be a creamy, spreadable consistency.
14. Frost cake by spreading a heaping amount all over the cake.
15. Cut and enjoy!
