Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (natural)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (natural)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup plant-based chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Measure and sift the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, natural gelling agent, and baking soda. This ensures even distribution and a fluffy texture in your cake.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together plant-based butter, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, non-dairy milk, and pure vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy to form the batter base.
- Combine Dry and Wet Mixes: Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender. Stir in the plant-based chocolate chips at the end.
- Prepare the Bundt Pan: Generously grease the bundt pan with plant-based butter and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking, ensuring the cake releases beautifully after baking.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 to 55 minutes. Use a toothpick to test doneness; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Unmold: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a wire rack. This helps maintain the cake’s shape and moist texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and consistent batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough texture.
- Use freshly ground spices to enhance warm flavors.
- Check oven temperature for accurate baking results.
- Let the cake rest before glazing or serving to help it set properly.
