Vegan Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce

This chocolate cake has become my go to dessert when I want something quick and delicious that almost everyone can eat. And I always have the ingredients on hand. It’s basically flour, chocolate, olive oil and maple syrup. I make the sauce with frozen raspberries, which I almost always have in my freezer. And if you eat dairy, a dollop of your favorite ice cream on top makes it extra rich and special.

I doubled this for a recent dinner party to make it two layers and forgot to take a picture until the next day when it was half gone. I also made it recently for a family birthday party and even the kids loved it. You can make it with butter rather than olive oil, but I’ve come to prefer it with oil, so try it both ways. It’s healthy and can be eaten without guilt. If there’s any leftover I slice it up and freeze it so I have a sweet on hand when there’s no time to bake. Enjoy!
