In the following lines, we recommend 3 perfect vegan desserts for the winter season!
How to make vegan chocolate cake
This vegan chocolate dessert is among the recipes that easily conquer with its simplicity and authentic taste.
Preparing a vegan chocolate cake involves very easy steps:
In a bowl, combine the slightly warmed vegetable milk, seed oil, and sugar: mix with a hand whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Then add the unsweetened cocoa, vanilla (or a packet of vanilla sugar), and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Gradually incorporate the flour and baking powder, continuing to mix until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous batter.
Pour the batter into a 20 cm mold lined with parchment paper (or oiled and floured) and, if you want to make it even more delicious, add some dark chocolate chips to the surface. Bake the cake in a preheated fan oven at 170 °C for about 35 minutes (or at 180 °C in a static oven).
To check if it's done, insert a toothpick: if it comes out clean, your vegan dessert is ready. Let it cool completely, then unmold and dust with icing sugar for a delicate touch.
You can customize it with your favorite flavors, such as vanilla, orange, or rum, to make it unique every time.
Instead of classic chocolate chips, try adding a creamy touch with a Vegan Dark Hazelnut Spread or a Sugar-Free Vegan Coconut Spread: you'll get an even richer and more enveloping result.
If you prefer, you can also bake the batter in muffin molds, maintaining the same temperature (170° fan or 180° static) and reducing the cooking time to about 25 minutes.
For the flour, you can use either type 0 or 00, depending on the consistency you want to achieve. (source)
Storage
The cocoa cake, prepared without eggs and without butter, keeps perfectly for 2-3 days under a cake dome or in an airtight container, maintaining all its softness.
Vegan Muffin with Banana and Chocolate
After discovering how to prepare the classic vegan chocolate dessert, i.e., a vegan cake, we cannot fail to mention an equally irresistible variant: vegan banana and chocolate muffins.
These soft and fragrant treats represent the perfect union of taste and lightness, ideal for those who love egg-free and dairy-free desserts but don't want to give up on deliciousness!
This easy vegan recipe can be prepared in a few minutes and requires simple ingredients like flour, ripe bananas, cocoa, and vegetable oil.
To prepare these vegan banana and chocolate muffins, peel and mash two ripe bananas until you get a homogeneous cream.
Combine sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla, then add the flour and mix well.
Finally, incorporate baking powder and chocolate chips or a vegan spread, mixing until you get a uniform batter. Pour into muffin cups and bake in an air fryer at 160° for 15 minutes, or in a fan oven at 160° (180° static).
The result? Soft muffins, with an intense aroma and an enveloping flavor, perfect for breakfast or for vegan snacks to enjoy at any time of day.
The banana and chocolate combination is a great classic loved by all, and you can customize it by adding walnuts, hazelnuts, or cinnamon for an even more delicious touch.
Additionally, these muffins keep well for several days and can be frozen: you just need to warm them for a few minutes to regain all their freshness.

After a brief cooking in a non-stick pan (a couple of minutes per side), the pancakes are ready to stack and serve still warm, perhaps accompanied by a vegan chocolate spread, jam, or a red fruit preserve.
You can customize them with fresh fruit, coconut flakes, or chopped hazelnuts for an extra touch of flavor.
