Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • ½ cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ¾ cup Maple syrup
  • ½ cup Coconut oil (melted)
  • ½ cup Unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup Non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk)
  • 1 cup Vegan dark chocolate (chopped) Melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate either in the microwave or using a double boiler. Allow it to cool slightly.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate, coconut oil, maple syrup, applesauce, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Baking
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing! The batter should be thick and fudgy.
  2. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let the torte cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite toppings, or enjoy plain.

Notes

Store leftover torte in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or allow to come to room temperature before serving. Ingredient substitutions can be made; use oat flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour instead of almond flour if needed.
