Incredible Vegan Chocolate Bundt Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)—grease and flour a Bundt cake pan to ensure easy removal.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure that the ingredients are well combined.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, applesauce, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Add Hot Water: Pour in the hot water and stir until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, which makes the cake moist and delicious.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Optional: Frosting or Dusting: Once the cake has cooled, you can dust it with powdered sugar, drizzle it with a vegan chocolate glaze, or frost it with your favorite vegan frosting.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake, serve it up, and revel in the decadent delight of your Vegan Chocolate Bundt Cake.
