Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup vegan sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegan butter
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegan cocoa powder

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together flour, vegan sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, cream together vegan butter, coconut milk, vegan dark chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Variations:

For a richer, more decadent cake, replace the vegan dark chocolate chips with vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips. For a lighter vegan chocolate cake, replace the vegan dark chocolate chips with vegan white chocolate chips.

For a more intense chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of vegan cocoa powder to the batter. For a hint of citrus, add a teaspoon of freshly grated orange or lemon zest to the batter.

For a more festive presentation, top the cake with vegan frosting or your favorite vegan icing. For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of your favorite liqueur to the batter.
