Decadent Chocolate Cake with Homemade Chocolate Sauce

As I'm typing this post, I am helping myself to my 4th(yes 4th!) serving of this moist bittersweet chocolatey goodness. I have made this recipe a ton and its the always the perfect indulgence when I want chocolate. The honey in this cake provides just a enough sweetness, but also allows you to fully enjoy the bittersweetness from the chocolate. I made a chocolate sauce in place of icing which is smooth, perfect and delicious pairing. One of the best things about this cake, is that it is quick to make! So let's get started.

Ingredients:

1 C flour
1/4 C and 1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vinegar
1/3 C non-dairy butter(melted) or vegetable oil(coconut oil works too)
1/2 C honey(for vegan substitute other liquid sweetener)
3/4 C water

For chocolate sauce:

1/2 C powdered sugar
2 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
4 tsp non-dairy milk or water

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Grease a 9.5 inch pie pan or 8x8x2 inch baking dish*
Add dry ingredients to prepared pan and whisk thoroughly until combined
In separate bowl thoroughly mix wet ingredients EXCEPT vinegar
Make a dent in dry ingredient mixture and pour in vinegar
Pour wet ingredient mixture in pan and whisk with dry until combined
Bake for 20 minutes or until knife or toothpick comes out clean
Let cool in pan for 5-10 minutes, gently run knife around edges to release them before flipping cake onto cooling rack

*This recipe makes 1 single layer cake, 8x8x2 dish will provide slightly taller cake
