VEGAN CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray four 4-ounce disposable aluminum ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Pour the aquafaba into the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, whisking in between each, until the chocolate and coconut oil are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute. Cool for 1 minute, then stir into the flour mixture. Fold in the whipped aquafaba with a rubber spatula until combined.
• Fill the ramekins about halfway with the batter. Use your fingertips to create a well in the center. Pour 2 teaspoons of the tahini into each well. Cover the tahini with more batter by creating a small disc of batter and gently placing it on top. The goal is to hide the tahini but not press it out of the well.
• Bake until the cake edges are firm and the tops are slightly cracked but set, 20 to 25 minutes. Invert onto serving plates, garnish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and serve immediately.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease the base and sides of 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with dairy-free spread, then line the bases with baking parchment.
• Put the dairy-free milk in a jug and add the vinegar - it will split but don't worry. Put all of the other cake ingredients into a large bowl, pour over the milk mixture and beat well until smooth. Divide the mixture between the prepared tins and bake for 25-30 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cakes comes out cleanly. Leave to cool in the tins for 10mins then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
• To make the buttercream, put the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Leave the melted chocolate to cool for 5 minutes. Beat the dairy-free spread and icing sugar together with a wooden spoon then sift in the cocoa powder with a pinch of salt. Pour in the melted chocolate and dairy-free milk and keep mixing until smooth.
• Sandwich the two cooled sponges together with half of the buttercream then pile the rest on top and down the sides. Decorate with the fresh fruit.

TRUE DEEP CHOCOLATE VEGAN CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Oil an 8-inch square or round baking pan and dust with a little sifted cocoa, or line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar.
• In another bowl, combine the oil, water or coffee, and vanilla.
• Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until blended and smooth.
• Add the vinegar and stir briefly. The baking soda will begin to react with the vinegar right away; this is normal and should happen.
• Quickly pour the batter into the baking pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Transfer to a plate when cool and glaze.
• For the glaze: In a double boiler or small, heavy saucepan over a medium flame, melt 1/3 cup raspberry jam with 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and mix thoroughly.
• In another small saucepan mix 2 cups jam with 2 teaspoons water and warm over a low flame until the spread liquefies.
• Brush the water-fruit mixture over the top of cooled cake. Spread the chocolate mixture on top of that. Allow the glaze to cool before cutting the cake.
