Vegan Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Berries

I’ve made a lot of chocolate cakes over the years and vegan cakes always seems to turn out the most moist. I love this Vegan Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Berries so much. Vegan cakes use the vinegar reacting with the baking soda to help the cake rise. When you pull it out of the oven it is cooked but bouncy to the touch. It smells like rich cocoa. Vegan Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Berries

If you are vegan, you can easily top this with coconut whipped cream! Just refrigerate those coconut milk cans, skim the thick part off the top and whip with some powdered sugar. If you make it how I did it, just add some cornstarch with the powdered sugar to stabilize the powdered sugar.
