Tips for a good vegan chocolate cake recipe in a airfryer

• It is important to sift all the ingredients dry so that there are no lumps.
• You can melt the chocolate with the milk in a saucepan, in a bain-marie or in the microwave
• To beat I have used an automatic hand mixer but you can use manual rods, a glass blender, a mixer or a Thermomix
• If the mold is silicone, you do not need to grease it. (remember to use a pan suitable for a airfryer)
• Let the cake cool before cutting it.
• If the ganache is too hard, you can heat it a bit in a bain-marie until you can spread it
• I have used a silicone spatula to spread the ganache

Substitution of ingredients

• Pastry flour ➡️ Wheat flour, oatmeal, whole wheat flour, rice flour (for all you should add half an envelope of yeast)
• Cocoa powder ➡️ Cocoa cream
• Icing sugar ➡️ Normal sugar or sweeteners
• Almond milk ➡️ Coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk, oat milk (or if you're not vegan, regular milk)
• Dark chocolate ➡️ Milk chocolate or white chocolate
• Sunflower oil ➡️ Coconut oil or olive oil (both in less quantity)
• Vanilla essence ➡️ Vanilla or change the icing sugar for vanilla sugar
• Honey ➡️ Maple syrup, date paste or other sweetener
• Peach jam ➡️ Strawberry jam or any jam you have at home
• Peanut butter ➡️ Almond butter (looks better but harder to find)
