Vegan Mocha Brownie Cake Is An Easy Shabbat Dessert That Is Delicious Anytime.

Vegan Mocha Brownie Cake

Vegan Mocha Brownie Cake is perfect for shabbat when you want to serve a non-dairy dessert after a meat meal.  Since it contains no eggs and the nuts are optional, this is also a fine choice for your friends and family members who have food allergies or follow special diets.  My tasters were not vegan but gave this cake a thumbs-up and deemed it blog-worthy.  It is simple to make and mixes up easily with a wooden spoon.  No stand mixer required.

I decided to make it in a miniature cake pan I had, but a regular baking pan works just as well.

If you are not serving these with meat, some real whipped cream would be delicious.  Non-dairy whipped topping in a can is also available.

What does vegan mean?  Is it the same as vegetarian?

Vegetarians  do not eat animals, but may consume animal-sourced products such as eggs, milk or honey.  Vegan food does not contain any animal flesh or any products from animals. Plant-based meals are usually healthier but vegan food is not necessarily health food – after all, this recipe contains white sugar and white flour.  Unlike traditional cakes which may use eggs and butter, this one uses plant-based applesauce and rice milk.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

This recipe is not gluten-free as written.  Feel free to substitute your favorite baking mix for the white flour.  The brand of chips I used are vegan, kosher, gluten-free….and very tasty!

I always butter my baking pans.  What can I use instead?

To keep this cake parve, I suggest either using cooking spray, or my personal favorite, parchment paper, for easy clean-up.

I can’t find coffee syrup.  What else can I use?

If coffee syrup is not available, proceed with the recipe using maple syrup instead. Add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder dissolved in 3 ounces of hot water.  Bake for 1 hour or until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
