If you’re looking for the perfect decadent dessert, this Chocolate Soufflé Cake is for you. It’s made with easy-to-find ingredients and requires just 1 bowl and 30 minutes to put together.
This recipe is from Oliva Biermann’s new cookbook Liv B’s Easy Everyday, which features 100 sheet-pan, one-pot, and 5-ingredient recipes. We were so excited to try this recipe, and I’m not kidding when I say this recipe didn’t disappoint.
This cake is amazing for entertaining because it is crazy-easy to make and your guests will never guess it has only five ingredients! The texture is light but still decadent, and rich in chocolate flavor. It’s best served with a big dollop of sweet coconut whipped cream and fresh berries.
Here’s What You Need to Make this Chocolate Soufflé Cake:
All-Purpose Flour – When baking, our go-to is always the Bob’s Red Mill all-purpose flour, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. We often get questions about whether or not other flours can be used, such as a gluten-free blend or whole wheat, but since this isn’t our recipe, we don’t feel comfortable giving direction on that. However, the rule of thumb for whole wheat flour is to only substitute up to 50% of the all-purpose flour.
Cane Sugar –If you want to be extra sure that the sugar you’re using is vegan, buy organic! We like to use the Wholesome brand.
Cocoa Powder – This recipe calls for unsweetened cocoa powder, so make sure you don’t accidentally get one that is sweetened. If you want to make this recipe extra photo-worthy, it’s recommended to dust the cocoa powder over the cake when serving!
Baking Powder – This will help get the chocolate soufflé cake nice and fluffy.
Canola Oil: Canola oil is great for baking because it’s so affordable

This cake is amazing for entertaining because it is crazy-easy to make and your guests will never guess it has only 5 ingredients! The texture is light but still decadent, and rich in chocolate flavor. It’s best served with a big dollop of sweet coconut whipped cream and fresh berries.
Ingredients
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup organic cane sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (see notes)
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup canola oil
Additional Tools:
8-inch round cake pan, lined with parchment
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add the water and canola oil; stir to combine. The batter should be fairly smooth, but a few small lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an Instagram worthy presentation, sprinkle a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder over the top just before serving,
This cake is best made and served on the same day. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Hi! I entered the competition with email address falco.rita@gmail.com. I’m very excited I really hope to win. I need all the help I can get trying to figure it all out.
Thank you for your consideration.

This is perfect timing 🤓 I’ve been wanting to gift this cookbook to my Mom who has been putting effort into eating more plant based lately 🙌🏽 madi.marie.berns@gmail.com
I’m so excited to try this. I really miss flourless chocolate cake but couldn’t figure out how to veganize it because it contains SO many eggs, and this looks like a great alternative
Just to let you know (maybe somehow name) when I click on print recipe button above the recipe looks fine. But when I send it to my printer a do print preview, it has an ad covering the flour amount and partially covering the line with the sugar,
I loved your latest video trying out fellow vloggers cookbook recipes. I would love to have the entire collection. Here’s my e-mail: lavitabella23@yahoo.com
hello! I entered the giveaway and my email is mohanaholloway@gmail.com! i would love to win this cookbook and I have been vegan for years but have gotten super into cooking over quarantine.
This soufflé is to die for! Which should have been obvious from the start since it’s a Liv B recipe AND recommended by Sweet Simple Vegan so you know it’s good!
I can’t believe how easy and chocolate-y this looks, wow! I think I’ll make it next week for my graduation celebration. I also loved the part in the Youtube video when Jasmine was trying to calculate how many days the cake would last her…and forgot about Chris 🙂 must be that good!
This looks fabulous! I think I have everything in the pantry (except the oil) so I will be making this over the weekend. Love your videos (and great job on the still photography!)
