Vegan Recipes
Chocolate Mint Cake
Not light and fluffy, this chocolate mint cake is for those that enjoy heavier cakes. It is made with wholewheat flour which gives the cake a great nutty/grainy texture.
Serve this delightful vegan cake with chocolate sauce, either as a topping or as a pour-over sauce, and/or vanilla ice cream. Tastes especially good when chilled in the fridge.
