Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder to ensure even distribution and avoid lumps for a fine crumb texture.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, natural vanilla extract, and unsweetened plant-based milk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine and Stir Gently: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
  4. Prepare Cherry Pie Filling with Natural Gelling Agent: If the cherry pie filling needs more firmness, stir in the natural gelling agent and heat gently until thickened to ensure it holds well between cake layers.
  5. Layer the Batter and Cherry Filling: Divide the batter evenly between two prepared cake pans. After baking the first layer, spread a generous layer of cherry pie filling on top before adding the second cake layer, or swirl the filling gently into the batter before baking for a marbled effect.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembly.
  7. Assemble and Decorate: Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread cherry pie filling over it, then top with the second cake layer. Finish by sprinkling chopped plant-based dark chocolate on top or adding a luscious plant-based frosting.

Notes

  • Use ingredients at room temperature for best blending and consistent batter.
  • Sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure even raising.
  • Check cake doneness starting 5 minutes before minimum baking time to avoid drying out.
  • Allow cake layers to cool fully before assembling to prevent melting the filling or frosting.
  • Store leftover cake covered tightly to maintain moisture and freshness.
