Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Greek yogurt frosting

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
  • In a measuring cup or small bowl, whisk together the almond milk, food coloring, vinegar and vanilla.
  • In another small bowl, sift the dry ingredients together until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Pour the milk mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Pour into the greased pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top looks firm and dry around the edges; nothing should jiggle. Let cool completely, then cut into six equal wedges.
  • If making the Greek yogurt frosting, simply stir all ingredients together. Stack and frost cake wedges with your desired frosting.
  • For a chocolate drizzle on top, melt a few tablespoons of chocolate chips in the microwave (in 30 second-or-less increments--be careful not to scorch your chocolate!). Once smooth, dip a fork in the melted chocolate and shake it over the cake to create a deliciously haphazard drizzle. Top with
  • Top with sprinkles and serve with extra frosting if desired!
