Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round baking pans by greasing them or lining with parchment paper.
Melt dark vegan chocolate in hot coffee; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, sea salt, and baking soda.
In another bowl, mix plant-based milk, oil, vinegar, vanilla extract, and cooled chocolate mixture.
Combine wet and dry ingredients; mix gently until just combined.
