Chocolate Almond Brownie Cake
INGREDIENTS
1 cup plain flour or all purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dairy free (vegan) dark chocolate, melted
1 cup Oat milk (or milk of choice)
1 tsp baking powder (optional for a fluffier style brownie)
1/2 cup chopped almonds or chocolate chips, optional
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line a square or loaf tin with baking or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder and sugar and gently whisk to mix.
- Add oil, vanilla, melted chocolate and almond milk. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and combined. Add chocolate chips and mix gently.
- Transfer brownie batter to prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Try not to over bake or brownies will turn cakey*.
Please note that every oven is different, and if they need a little extra time in the oven, they’ll still be delicious.
