- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth and fully combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.
Step 4: Add Cocoa Powder and Salt
- Sift the cocoa powder into the wet mixture to prevent lumps, then add the salt.
- Stir gently until the batter is thick, smooth, and well combined.
Step 5: Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Dust the cooled cake with cocoa powder or powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
- Garnish with fresh berries or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
- Slice and serve!
