  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

  • Bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Place on a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
  • To make the ganache, in a small bowl add in the ⅔ cup of non-dairy milk and semisweet chocolate chips.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave for a few minutes until the chocolate begins to melt, remove from the microwave, and whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Remove the cake from the pan and pour the ganache over the top. Allow the ganache to set.
