Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup almond milk (or other plant milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (natural)

Filling

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling with natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pans: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans with plant-based butter and lightly dust with flour to ensure clean and intact cake layers.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder (natural), baking powder, and baking soda. This ensures even rising and a smooth, lump-free cake texture.
  3. Cream Plant-Based Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, cream the softened plant-based butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, incorporating air for a soft and airy cake.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Slowly add this mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, blending to form a smooth batter.
  5. Blend Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients into the wet batter, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cake texture.
  6. Bake the Cake Layers: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow the cakes to cool completely.
  7. Assemble with Cherry Pie Filling: Spread a generous layer of cherry pie filling with natural gelling agent over one cooled cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and cover the cake with additional filling or a light plant-based frosting as desired.

Notes

  • Use all ingredients at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Sift cocoa powder and flour to prevent clumps and achieve a tender crumb.
  • Mix dry and wet ingredients just enough to combine; overmixing can make the cake dense.
  • Choose high-quality cherry pie filling with natural gelling agent for the best texture and flavor.
  • Allow cake layers to cool completely before adding filling to prevent melting and slipping.
