Ingredients

  • *for the chocolate cake*
  • 1 ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup nondairy milk
  • cup vegetable oil
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • *for the ganache*
  • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
  • ½ cup nondairy milk
  • *to serve*
  • 1 can coconut cream
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries

Instructions

  • First, place your canned coconut cream in the fridge. Allow it to chill overnight to solidify.
  • Next, bake the cake. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 8" pan with nonstick spray or coat with vegan butter and flour.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Finally, stir in the white vinegar.
  • Pour the cake batter into the pan, and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from pan & allow to cool completely.
  • When ready to assemble, make the coconut whipped cream. Carefully open your chilled can of coconut cream, and scoop the coconut solids into a medium bowl. Leave any coconut water behind. Use a hand mixer to beat the coconut solids until fluffy and whipped like whipped cream. You can add some powdered sugar if desired - I didn't since the other components of the parfaits are so sweet!
  • Next, make the ganache. Combine the chocolate and nondairy milk in a microwave safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals until smooth and creamy.
  • Finally, it is time to assemble. Once the cake has cooled, cut it into small cubes. Place some cubes of cake in the bottom of a glass, top with some spoonfuls of ganache, fresh raspberries, and whipped coconut cream. Repeat once again to finish your parfait. Repeat up to 4 times to make four parfaits.
  • Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator until ready to eat!
