RE: Decadent Chocolate Cake with Homemade Chocolate Sauce Recipe | Egg-free and Non-dairy
Hi! yes and this recipe is sooo good! haha. The reason you need non dairy for the cake is because the vinegar reacts with the baking soda to allow this cake to rise. This cake is meant to be vegan(except I used honey so thus it isn't) . If you use dairy butter in the cake, it will react with the vinegar and change the composition of the cake, as milk and vinegar tend to curdle. So, you can sub oil for non-dairy butter which i've done tons of times and it works great. In the chocolate sauce, its okay to use dairy milk or water. You can layer this cake as well, but I recommend mixing each layer in individual batches instead of separating one big batch into different pans.(does that make sense)?
I thoughtt the non-dairy mihght only be to make it vegan. Thanks for the quick lesson on cooking chemistry ;D.
I dont know why, but I really want to put some banana or vanilla cream in between 2 layers. Doesnt make the recipe easier, I guess ^^
Yum, those are really good ideas!
I had a similar question, but your response was perfect! Thank you for the recipe and the help!
You're welcome! Let me know if you try the recipe! ^.^
Will do. I live in an almond area and I think sprinkling some roasted almonds in with your decadent chocolate sauce sounds like a really good idea!
That's a smart idea. Roasted almonds would add a nice nutty crunch!
Mmmm, I am hoping so! I thought I would get tired of using almonds as ingredients here, but no so. They use them in every way possible, sauces, pastry fill, stuffing for poultry or fish even. So good! So yes, I will definitely make use of your wonderful recipe and let you know how it comes out. Have I resteemed this yet? There, now everyone else can have chocolately dreams as well.
Jennswall, Aw thanks so much for the resteem! That means a lot! ^.^. Have you ever eaten green almonds? When they're still a green shell on the outside and have a white seed. Where my husband is from, it's quite a delicacy there. They eat it as a snack with salt.
Yes, here they finely chop the green almond and make a paste out of it that is used as a "salsa" for whitefish. I haven't tried it yet, I'm waiting until someone actually cooks this dish for me ;)
