Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Gluten Free

Easter is around the corner and of course, I had to make a delicious cake! Since I already have a Carrot Cake on my blog, I thought it would be a great idea to make a vegan chocolate cake with a peanut butter frosting and decorate it with cute chocolate bunnies and eggs. This chocolate cake is super rich, chocolaty, fudgy, and creamy even though it’s vegan and gluten-free! The cake is similar to my Chocolate Zucchini Cake, which is one of the most popular recipes on my blog. However, this time I didn’t use zucchini, and instead of just two layers, I made three layers. This way you can include more of the vegan buttercream, which tastes heavenly btw.

The Ingredients

I used gluten-free flour to make this vegan chocolate cake, like rice flour (you can choose between white and brown rice flour). Also, regular flour should work fine in this recipe. I also added organic peanut flour from Bio Planete because it’s high in protein (it contains 58% protein!) and adds a very nice flavor. The buttercream is, of course, also vegan. I used margarine, but you can use any vegan butter instead. And since this is a vegan peanut butter cake, I also included smooth peanut butter which made the frosting even more delicious.

Great Cake for A Birthday

You can decorate this “Snickers cake” as per your liking. You could, for example, add more frosting as decoration, or you keep it simple, like I did, and put some chocolate on top. It not only looks cute but it also tastes delicious. This cake is also a great birthday cake because most people love chocolate AND peanut butter. But you can actually enjoy this cake on any day of the year because it’s great to indulge on something sweet once in a time.
