    Full recipe here: bbc.in/1HqUBL8 "I never thought I would be in raptures about the joyfulness of a vegan chocolate cake. It’s true that I first made a version of it - the recipe kindly given to me by Caroline Stearns, my technical guru in the kitchen - when I was giving a supper for a vegan friend, but I now make this as my chocolate cake of choice, and I don’t even need to explain it’s vegan. On top of everything else, it’s incredibly simple to make".

      I watch her for relaxation and also to learn many of her recipes.
      She is sublime and so is the music, the kitchen, the dishware and the cookware.

      whether I’m working on one of our cars or cooking or doing house chores or yardwork, I listen to her in the background so often just for the calming, good-natured, wholesome, loving assurance that her voice gives.

    I had made a wee bit more icing so I could put icing in between the layers and cover the top and the side as well.
    I decorated the cake with homemade mixed nut praline pieces.
    It was like death by chocolate 😍

    This is my first Nigella recipe that I tried out and OMG it was the most deliciously moist and soft chocolate cake I've ever made. I am lactose intolerant so no dairy was good option and loved every bite of this gorgeous cake. I did have Icing leftovers as I am not into it. You should try this recipe, its simple and delicious!

      Very very rich and super moist and more pudding than cake but no, its not overly sweet, just very chocolatey. Made it for friends today for afternoon tea and they struggled as they said it would suit having after dinner with cream. As a greedy vegan who loves chocolate and cake i LOVED it and you'd never ever know it was vegan! Thank you Nigella

    I made this for New Year's eve, adorned it with almonds and pomegranate seeds and it is indeed a treat, moreover sooo easy to make! I would even argue that the icing was too chocolatey (now here's the phrase I thought I would never say) so if you don't have enough of chocolate bars, just use some icing sugar/marple syrup with coconut oil and cocoa powder and it will be as good as needed :)

      @anya7944 4 роки тому +4

      DR you can’t taste the coconut oil whatsoever, I would think that any other neutral oil would work okay. But the sesame oil may add another type of more savoury flavour so I’m not too sure

  • @aarohiabhyankar1132
