FOR THE CAKE:
1-1/2 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
2 Tablespoons White Vinegar
2/3 cups Melted Coconut Oil (or Sub Canola Oil)
1/2 cups Strong Brewed Coffee
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
3/4 cups Mashed Raspberries
1/2 cups Unsweetened Applesauce
2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour Or All-Purpose Flour
1-1/3 cup Cane Sugar (or Granulated Sugar)
1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Pink Himalayan Salt Or Sea Salt
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 cup Softened Coconut Oil
2/3 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 cups Dairy Free 100% Bakers Chocolate
2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1/4 cups Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
2-1/2 cups Powdered Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Lightly spray two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans and dust with cocoa powder.
2
Mix almond milk and vinegar in a large mixing bowl. Let sit for a few minutes to activate.
3
Add oil, coffee, vanilla, raspberries, and applesauce. Beat until foamy. Gradually add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat until there are no lumps.
4
Divide batter between cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool before frosting or you will have warm, sliding, melting frosting.
5
While cake is baking, prepare frosting in the same batter bowl by beating together all ingredients until light and fluffy, adding powdered sugar in gradually.
6
Once cake has cooled, frost! This goes great with a glass of almond milk.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
