Easy Blender Chocolate Cake Recipe (DF)

Love chocolate cake? So do we! We wanted to create a recipe that was quick and easy to prepare and used minimal equipment. 

This cake is light and fluffy and not overly rich. You can intensify the chocolate flavour by topping it with your favourite chocolate icing.

What is the secret to a light and fluffy cake, you ask? Make it in your blender! 

All you need is a few simple ingredients and your MOD Blend Pro and in a matter of minutes you have a chocolate cake that is ready for the oven. 

Choose a plant based milk to keep this recipe dairy-free. We used almond milk, but cashew, oat or soy would work well too.
