Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Filling and Additional Components

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling with natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, sift the cocoa powder and flour together to ensure a lump-free chocolate base, and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pans or line them with parchment paper for an easy release after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together well to distribute the leavening agents evenly throughout the dry mix for even rising.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, vegetable oil, sugar, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Overmixing can make the cake tough, so stop when you see no dry flour patches but still have a smooth batter.
  5. Bake the Cake Layers: Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack to avoid a mushy filling layer later.
  6. Assemble the Cake: Once the cake layers are cooled, spread a generous layer of cherry pie filling between the two cakes. The natural gelling agent in the filling ensures it stays in place without being too runny or too stiff.
  7. Optional Frosting: If desired, finish with a light spread of plant-based (natural) powdered sugar glaze or whipped (plant-based) cream to add an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Use fresh plant-based milk and measured oil to keep the cake tender without greasiness.
  • Use a kitchen scale to divide batter for uniform layers that stack beautifully.
  • Always let cake layers cool fully before adding the filling to prevent melting or sliding.
  • Choose natural cocoa powder with strong aroma for authentic chocolate depth.
  • Ensure your cherry pie filling uses a natural gelling agent for perfect saucy yet sturdy texture.
