Vegan Raspberry Blackout Cake With Ganache Y Frosting Recipes

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the soy creamer to a low boil. Add the margarine and melt, turn off the heat, and stir in chocolate chips until smooth. Let sit for at least one hour. It should have a pourable consistency at this point. If you want a spreadable consistency then refrigerate for an hour.
• Preheat oven to 350. Spray two 8-inch round springform cake pans with cooking spray. If you don't have springform, then use parchment paper rounds on the bottom of two ordinary 8-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.
• Sift together the four, cocoa powder, baking power, baking soda, and salt. Combine the rice milk, oil, 1/2 cup of the preserves, the vanilla, and the sugar in a large bowl and mix with hand mixer or strong fork. The jam should be mostly dissolved with the rest of the ingredients; some small clumps are okay. Add the dry ingredients to the wet in batches and mix until everything is incorporated. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes, or until a tooth pick or knife comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cook in pans.
• When the cakes have cooled fully, spread one layer of cake with a thin layer of the reserved raspberry preserves (give the preserves a quick mix with a strong fork to get a spreadable consistency); spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top of the preserves. Place the other layer of cake on top and spread its top with preserves. Carefully spread the chocolate frosting over the top, then ice the sides. I like to put a circle of fresh raspberries around the circumference of the top.

Steps:

• In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a simmer; remove pan from heat.
• Add the chocolate chips, preserves, and butter, shaking the pan to immerse the chocolate and as much of the preserves and butter as possible.
• Let stand for 1 1/2 minutes, or until the chocolate has melted.
• Beat the mixture with a wire whisk until smooth.
• Cool until thick enough to use as a glaze; or, cool completely and whip to desired spreading consistency using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add 2 cups soy milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract and stir until just combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven, watching closely, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto a serving platter with a sheet of wax paper underneath the cake. Let cool completely, about 45 minutes, before glazing.
• Combine jam and 1 tablespoon water in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat glaze in a microwave oven at 50% power for about 1 minute.
• Combine chocolate chips and 1/4 cup soy milk in the top of a double boiler over medium heat. Stir until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Add coffee granules and stir until smooth. Remove ganache from heat and let sit to thicken slightly, about 8 minutes.
• Spoon and spread raspberry glaze all over the top and sides of the cake. Follow with ganache. Allow cake to sit in a cool place until serving. Before serving, remove the wax paper from under the cake.
