Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups (440g) all-purpose plain flour (note 1 for gluten free)
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa or raw cacao powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500g) dairy-free milk (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup (190g) neutral flavored oil (or melted vegan butter)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For Assembly

  • Melted vegan butter (as needed for greasing)
  • 3/4 cup (130g) roughly chopped vegan chocolate or chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120g) thick scoopable canned coconut cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Brush a bundt tin generously with melted vegan butter or oil, then lightly dust the tin with cocoa powder to prevent sticking and add extra flavor.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the dairy-free milk, neutral oil, and apple cider vinegar into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Some lumps are okay at this stage; avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  4. Divide Batter: Pour approximately half of the batter (about 780g) into a separate bowl so you have two equal portions of unflavored batter to work with.
  5. Flavor Each Batter: Add the vanilla extract to one bowl and gently mix. To the other bowl, add the cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons (30g) of plant-based milk, mixing gently until just combined to create the chocolate batter.
  6. Layer the Batter: Using two 1/2 cup measures or equal ladles, start layering the batter in the bundt pan by pouring 1/2 cup of chocolate batter first, followed by 1/2 cup of vanilla batter directly on top. Repeat alternating until all batter is used. The batters will naturally spread and create the zebra pattern.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a skewer into the cake; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the bundt pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then invert the pan onto the rack and let it cool for an additional 10 minutes before gently tapping to release the cake fully. Let it cool completely.
  9. Prepare Ganache: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the roughly chopped vegan chocolate and thick canned coconut cream. Stir consistently as the chocolate melts until smooth and fully emulsified. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  10. Assemble and Serve: Drizzle the ganache over the cooled cake. Serve immediately and enjoy this moist, vegan marble bundt cake.
  11. Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month for best freshness.

Notes

  • Note 1: To make this cake gluten free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free plain flour blend suitable for baking.
  • Note 2: Avoid overmixing the batter once wet ingredients are added to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Use neutral flavored oil such as sunflower or canola oil; coconut oil may impart extra flavor but should be melted.
  • If coconut cream is unavailable, use full-fat coconut milk refrigerated so the cream solidifies on top for thick ganache.
  • This cake is perfect for vegans and those with dairy and egg allergies.
