Ingredients
1 cup neutral oil, such as canola, plus more for pans
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons instant espresso powder
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup apple-cider vinegar
1/2 cup margarine
3 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
2 tablespoons dairy-free soy creamer
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (1 cup)
1 tablespoon golden syrup or brown rice syrup
1/3 cup dairy-free soy creamer
Directions
Cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly brush two 8-inch round cake pans with oil; set aside.
Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar into a large bowl. In a small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in 2 cups warm water; whisk in oil and vanilla. Whisk wet ingredients into dry mixture until well incorporated. Quickly whisk in vinegar. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert cakes onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
Icing: in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat margarine on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, espresso powder, soy creamer, and vanilla; beat until smooth, 30 seconds more. Beat in cooled chocolate; set aside.
Trim tops of cakes flat. Place a cake layer on a cake plate. Spread 1 1/2 cups icing evenly over it (reserve remaining icing for another use). Top with second cake layer, cut-side down.
Ganache: Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring golden syrup and soy creamer to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and pour over chocolate. Let stand 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Pour ganache over cake, allowing it to drip down sides. Let stand at room temperature until set, at least 15 minutes.
Cook's Notes
Remaining icing can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Variations
Coconut milk or coconut creamer can be substituted for the soy creamer.
