Tall Vegan Aqua Faba Chocolate Zucchini Layer Cake with Vegan Frosting Filling - Whole Wheat, No Oil

non-dairy milk

aquafaba*

brown sugar (Or other dry sweetener.)

Tablespoon vanilla extract

zucchini

whole wheat flour

cocoa powder (unsweetened, the better

baking powder (Ensure is well mixed throughout the dry ingredients.)

salt

chocolate chips (heaping, dairy free)

icing sugar

Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).  Lightly spray two 9” round cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, aquafaba, brown sugar and vanilla.

Shred zucchini (or other squash substitute) in a food processor or with a grater.

Stir in the shredded zucchini.  I used a spiralizer to make 2 cups of zucchini, which I then quickly chopped into small pieces, and then a small food processor to make the other 2 cups.  I wanted some zucchini wetter and some more dry. &nbsp;You could food process all the zucchini instead.

In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and then add to the zucchini mixture, stirring until completely combined.

Pour evenly into the two cake pans.

Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

The cakes should rise nicely, the top might feel a bit tough, but the frosting softens it up.

Let cool completely. Run a knife around the pans and turn upside down onto a cooling rack or towel.

Cake

While cake is cooling, make the frosting by putting the chocolate chips and non-dairy milk in a microwave safe glass bowl and microwaving in 15 second increments until chocolate is gooey but not a liquid.  Add the icing sugar 1 cup at a time.

Stir frosting with a fork or whisk until it is completely smooth.Add additional non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time if required to reach smooth and desired spreading consistency.

Once cake has cooled, generously spread warm frosting on the bottom layer to get a nice thick middle layer of icing. I put the first cake upside down and the 2nd right side up so the two flat bottoms meet in the middle. &nbsp;Place the 2nd layer of chocolate cake on the 1st and spread the chocolate frosting over the top and sides.

The frosting spreads easily when it is warm, and then cools and stays in place. &nbsp;Microwave for 10 seconds if it becomes too thick to spread. &nbsp;This picture is from the next day... after sitting on the counter under a cake lid. &nbsp; Frosting is still holding up well!
