Vegan Double Chocolate Cake
These vegan double chocolate cakes are packed full of chocolate flavor, white whole wheat flour, coconut palm sugar and made with sweet vanilla soy milk. The best part is that it’s made in under 30 minutes!
You know what I hate? Getting so hungry that I start to get hangry. Do you know what that means? That means I basically become a cross between The Hulk and overly dramatic Cameron from Modern Family.
I’m pretty sure my husband is going to start carrying around snacks just to throw them at my face when I have my hangry breakdowns. Trust me, it’s bad. Usually he just looks at me, rolls his eyes and mutters something like “for the love of God woman eat something.”
Then I scream at him about how he doesn’t know.
But really he does know me so that annoys me even more in my hungry state.
Luckily I know how to make these little protein packed cakes so when I get hangry I can eat a few of these deliciousness gems and get back to my normal personality.
Plus chocolate.
Who doesn’t love the idea of protein packed chocolate cake?
When I made this recipe the first time I didn’t set out intentionally make them vegan but the way the cake all came together it just so happened to be that way. I had been making a dairy free/egg free cake for years but altered it for this recipe by replacing the water with soy milk and using more health conscience ingredients like white whole wheat flour and coconut palm sugar. Since I used vanilla soy milk I decided to leave out vanilla extract and alter the added sweetness to account for the fact that sweetened soy milk is in fact sweet.
Obviously.
If you were making this at home with unsweetened soy milk I would be sure to add just a touch more coconut palm sugar and maybe a splash or two of vanilla extract. I also think using chocolate soy milk for this cake would be amazing too.
Sooooooo many options!

Protein chocolate cakes? Heck to the yes! 🙂
Do you turn into a “Diva” when you are hungry? Me too! Love that these little guys are packed with protein!
Yummers! These look like they’d satisfy my chocolate cravings!
This little treat will be a HUGE success at our house! two little girls, plus myself & my husband! Even better for individual desserts at a dinner party! Love!
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
You had me at protein + Cake!!
I’m on the same page with hangry breakdowns 🙂 Love these little cakes! They are perfect for a sweet, healthier treat.
These sound fantastic, I love cakes without frosting (I know, I’m a strange one)…especially with some fresh berries. Plus, vegan – awesome! Bye bye hanger…
I love these protein chocolate cakes! I get the same when when I get hungry and those pretty little cakes would surely satisfy any craving.
Oh, do I feel you on the hangry part. If I do not eat when I begin to feel hungry, I get pretty snappy. I feel bad afterwards and I don’t mean to get angry! Anyway, this recipe looks amazing and I like how simple the ingredients are!
Haha! These cakes are such a god idea, and they look delish!
Holy moly such gorgeous pics & vegan? Such great volume with no eggs is quite impressive!! 🙂
First, I have to say that your photos are gorgeous! I want to dive right in. I love the sound of chocolate cake with protein in it.
If you hadn’t told me this was vegan I would never have believed it! I’m constantly on the search for egg free recipes because we have an egg allergy in the house. The fact that we can get some protein out of these babies too, well that is just plain old awesome!
haha I totally get hangry too like a lot. I need some of these stored at the house to fix the issue! haha ooo my gosh and I bet those would be amazing with the chocolate soy milk too!
These are gorgeous and sound scrumptious! I’ll definitely have to try soon.
These are just the cutest!! And I adore your photos. So rich looking!
These sound fantastic and have some great ingredients for snacking! 🙂 Pics are gorgeous!
I’m a sucker for all things chocolate. they look great.
Protein packed chocolate cake that keeps me from being the hunger hulk!? Yes please. These are gorgeous!
My husband can instantly tell by the tone of my voice and the look on my face when I’m starting to get “hangry”…. one (or two!) of these gorgeous little cakes would fix that!
Protein packed chocolate cakes?! Um…YEAH! I always think of that Bill Cosby skit on how “good things go into chocolate cake” so it’s really a legit breakfast food.
The perfect little bite of goodness! And it’s good for you too!

Back in the olden days, they used to call these Wacky Cakes, because they had no eggs. Great looking little snacky cakes!
Holy wow these look so luxurious and delicious. Love the fact that they are vegan!
I get hangry, too. And now I want cake.
I feel you, girl. You can’t talk to me when I’m hangry. Because I will eat you. Now these cakes… You say vegan and I hear “have half a dozen. It’s ok!”
You know, this is my kinda recipe. Love vegan chocolate cake!
This cake is incredible! Hangry is for reals, I carry snacks with me everywhere for me and the boys!
I’m dying over these gorgeous little cakes!!! Perfect for hangry times or any time, really….
I am a total diva when I am HANGRY! these look incredible!
I’m pretty sure I’m the grumpiest person ever when I’m hungry…my in laws even joke that i’m like the snickers commercial lol. THESE gorgeous cakes, omg, I could eat like 5 right now, need these in my life!
I don’t eat a vegan diet, but I’d be happy to eat these little gems on a regular basis. They look so rich, dense and chocolaty!
With all this protein, these are pretty much BEGGING to become an after workout snack. Well, if they INSIST. 😛
Wow! Brandy, these look amazing! I love chocolate cakes and they’re made with Silk… yes please. I can gobble up all of them!
I’m new to vegan baking, but these look totally doable and SO good! I’ve had a hankering for cake lately and I think this is how I’m going to make it go away 😉
