Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened, divided)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted) or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1.25 cups Boiling water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar, then set aside for 5 minutes to create vegan 'buttermilk.'

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the vegan 'buttermilk,' melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and smooth, but avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and the remaining 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 7

Pour the boiling water over the entire mixture in the baking dish. Do not stir—the liquid will sit on top.

Step 8

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top looks set and slightly cracked. The bottom will still be gooey with fudge sauce.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream for extra indulgence.
