I LOVE chocolate mint. If you don't, you can replace the mint with something else. Strawberries or other fruit/jam, or Vanilla, or Chocolate! I had a big event with a bunch of my business partners in Arbonne so I wanted to make an Arbonne Cake! I had no Idea how to even start.. but it turned out both beautiful and DELICIOUS!
To make things easy, I used The Mix Company's Devil's Fudge Chocolate Cake mix. You can order their products online or purchase them from a few retailers in the Ottawa Area!
| What you need (Mint version): - 1 boiled flax egg (1 tbsp flax meal and 3 tbs water boiled for 1 min, stir, let cool) - 1/3 cup coconut oil - 2 tbsp Earth Balance buttery spread - 2 tsp Pure vanilla Extract - 1/2 cup of vegan buttermilk (Almond milk with 1 tsp apple cider vinegar) - 3/4 cup coconut palm sugar - 2 tsp stevia - 1/2 cup boiling water - devil's fudge mix. - Vegan Chocolate Chips (1/2 bag) - 10 drops Peppermint extract Preheat oven to 350 F. I used 2- 8 inch round pans for this cake. Mix together in the above order in a large bowl. Cut out 2 pieces of parchment paper the size of the bottom of the pan and grease the sides with Earth balance buttery spread or coconut oil. Bake for 30- 40 min. Until toothpick comes out clean. |   |
You HAVE to let the cakes cool before applying the icing. Take them out of the pan after 10 minutes and carefully place them on a cooling rack for another 15 min. While they are cooling you can start making the icing.
To make the 2 different colours of icing, I first added some natural food colouring (green) to the white icing. I later added cocoa powder to make it chocolatey and brown.
For the icing:
-1 stick of Earth Balance Buttery Spread (You can buy them in sticks, perfect for baking)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/2 cup of coconut palm sugar
- 3 tbsp stevia
- 5 drops peppermint extract
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
I put the green icing in the middle and also did the Arbonne logo with green. I used an icing tube to do little dots and then later filled them in with the chocolate! I also spread the icing around the sides of the cake in green. It looked great for my first VEGAN/ Gluten free cake!! It was a major hit!
