Step 3: Mix the dry ingredients
In a salad bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa and baking powder. Mix everything together until it is evenly combined. Don’t forget to incorporate the pinch of salt.
Step 4: Add the liquid ingredients and the melted chocolate
Melt in a double boiler the margarine with the dark chocolate. Once very smooth, incorporate this mixture into the dry preparation, then add the vegetable oil, the applesauce and finally, the soy cream. Mix well until you get a homogeneous dough.
Step 5: Pour the mixture into a previously buttered mold
To prevent the cake from sticking, remember to generously butter the cake pan before pouring the batter.

Step 6: Bake and wait
Place your creation in the oven for about 20 minutes. Don’t hesitate to regularly check the baking of the cake. It should be slightly firm to the touch and a knife tip should come out dry when you prick the center. Be careful not to overcook to keep it all its softness.
Step 7: Let cool, unmold and enjoy
After taking the cake out of the oven, allow it to legally cool before proceeding to unmould it. This prevents it from breaking or losing in consistency. All that’s left is for you to enjoy your wonderful and fluffy chocolate delight!
