1. Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease a springform pan (Ø 24 or 26 cm).
2. Mixing Dry Ingredients:
Combine all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
3. Mixing the Base Batter:
Add the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix briefly with a hand mixer.
4. Incorporating Hot Liquid:
Slowly pour the boiling hot liquid (coffee or water) into the batter while stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and liquid.
5. Baking and Cooling:
Pour the batter into the springform pan, bake for 35 to 40 minutes (perform a skewer test), and allow to cool completely.
6. Beating the Base:
Beat the room-temperature vegan margarine with a hand mixer for a few minutes until creamy.
7. Sifting and Combining Frosting Ingredients:
Sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, then add them alternately with the plant-based milk to the margarine while mixing.
8. Finishing the Frosting:
Stir the vanilla extract into the frosting until it is glossy and spreadable.
9. Decorating the Cake:
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake and decorate with chocolate sprinkles or berries if desired.
