Still on my quest to find the perfect alternative to the chocolate chip cookie, now I have stumbled onto this gem. The frosting is a slight variation of oliviagoddess's Vegan Chocolate Frosting and she knows what she's doing, it's awesome! Read more ! Ingredients:
cake |
1 c. white whole wheat flour |
1/8 tsp. salt |
1/2 tsp. baking soda |
1/3 c. dark brown sugar |
1/4 c. olive oil |
1/4 c. 100% pure maple syrup |
1/3 c. applesauce |
1/2 tsp. vanilla |
1 egg |
1/4 c. milk |
1/2 c. dark chocolate chips |
frosting |
1/2 c. honey or blue agave (for a milder taste) |
3 t. cornstarch |
3 t. unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 tsp. salt |
1/2 c. water |
1 t. olive oil |
1/4 tsp. vanilla |
Directions:
1. Cake:
2. Put all ingredients (except chocolate chips) into large bowl.

4. Add chocolate chips and stir until blended.

7. Frosting:
8. **Type of honey matters. I used wildflower the first time and it was way to strong so I switched it to good ol' plain and it was a much tamer flavor. Also if you find the chocolate flavor not strong enough add more cocoa powder.
9. Put first 4 ingredients into small saucepan.
10. Whisk water into mixture.
11. Heat over medium constantly stirring.
12. Once it thickens & is smooth remove from heat.
13. Stir in oil and vanilla.
