Honestly, I'm not a huge chocolate fan. Now, you might be asking, "What? You don't like chocolate???", well it's not that I don't like it, but I can only handle it if it's not super strong - anything over 50% cacao, and I just can't do it!

However, I'm not against a moist vegan chocolate cake like this one, I just didn't have a good recipe! I wanted something super easy, that you can whip up in 15 minutes and never get tired of. So, I've put together a super simple recipe with ingredients you likely already have in your cupboards (I'm sure of it ;-) ). I added a pinch of ground coffee, which is a tip I've seen everywhere lately, so I wanted to try it, but it's not mandatory, you know ;-)!

Steps

Preheat the oven to 340°F.
Melt the chocolate and margarine in the microwave.
Mix the flour, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, and coffee in a mixing bowl.
Add the soy milk while whisking. Then, finish with the chocolate-margarine mixture.
Grease a cake pan with a little margarine. Pour the batter into the pan.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes. To check if it's cooked, insert a knife blade into the center; it should come out clean (without any cake batter on it). Enjoy! :)
