Equipment

  • 1 Bundt tin 25cm dia

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1¾ cups Plain flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp espresso powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cold water

Rich Chocolate Glaze

  • 30 g Butter - vegan, unsalted
  • 60 g Dark chocolate - vegan, chopped
  • 1 cup Confectioners sugar - sifted
  • 1 tsp Espresso powder - optional
  • ½ tsp Vanilla extract
  • Boiling water

Instructions

To make the Bundt Cake

  • Lightly oil your bundt tin.
  • Preheat oven to 180c.
  • Sift the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk the melted oil, vanilla extract, balsamic vinegar and water in a jug.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and, using an electric hand whisk, blend for 2 minutes or until thoroughly amalgamated and no patches of flour show.
  • Pour gently into your prepared bundt tin.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool for 10 minutes on a baking rack before carefully turning out onto your cooling rack.
  • Cool before serving or icing.

To make the chocolate glaze

  • Place the chocolate, espresso powder and butter in a small saucepan over low heat and melt together, stirring gently all the time.
  • Remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract and icing sugar. Beat well.
  • Now stir in enough boiling water to bring the icing to a pourable yet still thick consistency. Start with a tablespoon and add more as needed. I find that the sauce thickens very quickly on standing if you don't use it straight away, so you can always add a little more boiling water to return it to a pouring consistency.
  • Pour over your cooled Bundt cake.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
