    Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Cake


    I am so in love with the recipe I am sharing today! My vegan, gluten-free Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Cake is moist and dreamy and super rich in chocolate flavor, yet healthy enough to nibble all day long, guilt-free! Well, at least I am pretty short on guilt and I have been nibbling it all day long, pairing it with ginger tea and a latte. Get the recipe, a video how-to and a few little life updates!..

    This Cake. This cake is amazing! The thick batter produces a dreamy, moist and chocolate-y cake.

    This is a rich chocolate cake infused with hemp seeds, oats, coconut sugar, coconut oil, vanilla bean, a hint of espresso, cinnamon and of course plenty of chocolate. Three ways of c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e…

    Chocolate in the cake, chocolate chips folded in and then a chocolate ganache drizzle on top. Ooey-gooey chocolate messiness in every amazing bite.

    All that pumpkin adds fiber, vitamin A and moisture. The hemp seeds add some protein and oomph. Basically, this recipe ROCKS.

    Have your pumpkin .. and eat chocolate too.

    You can imagine all this adventure-ing to the tune of Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off.” 😉

    Triple Chocolate Vegan Pumpkin Cake

    Triple chocolate cake infused with pumpkin, hemp seeds, vanilla, espresso and more. Vegan and gluten-free. Moist and fluffy!

    Ingredients

    • Dry:
    • 3 cups of oat flour (processed from whole rolled oats)
    • ⅓ cup hemp seeds
    • ½ cup cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • Wet:
    • 16oz. pumpkin puree, unsweetened
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1oz. espresso (1 shot, slightly cooled)
    • ⅓ cup virgin coconut oil, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ⅔ cup coconut sugar
    • fold in: ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
    • Ganache:
    • 1 ½ tablespoon virgin coconut oil
    • 1 ½ tablespoon vegan chocolate chips
    • Greasing baking dish: 1 teaspoon coconut oil

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Process enough oats to make 3 cups of oat flour. Usually about 1 ¼ cups of oats for every cup of oat flour. Then add the hemp seeds to your 3 cups of oat flour and process for a few more seconds, to process the hemp seeds into hemp flour.
    3. Add the oat and hemp flour to a large mixing bowl and add in the remaining dry ingredients: baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, salt. Stir to combine.
    4. Add all the wet ingredients to the dry bowl and fold until a thick batter forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
    5. Grease an 8 x 8 inch brownie or cake dish with a teaspoon of coconut oil.
    6. Pour batter into greased dish and spread and smooth out top. Mixture will be nice and thick.
    7. Bake at 400 degrees for ten minutes, reduce heat to 350 and bake for another 15 minutes.
    8. Pull cake out of oven and set aside while you create the ganache. Heat the ganache ingredients in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to melt. Stir briskly to combine and smooth into a silky chocolate mixture. Pour the ganache over top the cooling cake.
    9. Serve right away, super warm and ooey-gooey, or cool for at least a half hour before serving. Store in the fridge for up to a few days. For longer storage, freeze in pre-cut squares.
