[@kikutachan7885]

Pesvut Thank you so much! ❤

[@chriseatsplants2275]

Awesome thanks for sharing! :D

[@KathyInKY01]

Here's a stupid question... How much is 150g of flour in cups? Recipes that measure by weight drive me batty. Sigh...

[@vutesaqu]

Kathy_In_Carolina a cup of spelt flour is about 115-120g i believe, so around 1¼ cup to 1⅓ cup

[@KathyInKY01]

Pesvut, thank you very much!

[@ckimberly35]

Try using applesauce in placement of half the oil.. to make it less fatty and applesauce will make it even more fudge-like!

[@SeanieDHC]

Amazing tip! Thanks so much!

[@chriseatsplants2275]

That is a great tip, defiantly I will try this way :D

[@nicinathalie8273]

Thanks I was going to ask if that works!

[@juls2996]

Did it work?!

[@BucketBrain1]

Could also use boiled or roasted sweet potato, as that seems to complement chocolate far more.

[@shezs3255]

Years ago I asked my boyfriend to make me a vegan cake for my birthday and he made this recipe. Our tradition is to make each other a special dessert for each others birthday since we met. It was so good, I was blown away! He makes it every year now and we call it my birthday cake :) Bravo on such a great and simple recipe and thank you for making it so accessible! ❤️

[@shash3391]

[@tanyateloni2139]

Oh... I tried hard to keep my saliva inside my mouth while watching this video sooo intriguing chocolate cake

[@akindofmagick]

Gorgeous!!

[@TheRostaf]

I made this and it is my favorite chocolate cake ever! I absolutely love it. What a great recipe. And making the chocolate icing was really fun. I had to try that twice too, the first time I added too much water to my chocolate chip but then the second attempt actually worked. Thank you!

[@heygussie2218]

Wow, that looks delish!!

[@HollyPTurner]

I have absolutely 0 baking experience, and everything I've ever baked has been a complete disaster.. tonight, this cake was the exception!! My boyfriend and best friend (both not vegan) absolutely loved it, and it's almost all gone already 🙈😂 I was so surprised at how good it taste, and how easy it was to smash it! I would 100% recommend giving this a try! Thanks the happy pear ❤️ xx

[@thehappypear]

Wow that's incredible Holly! You're an absolute star!! Keep up the fab work 😄😋🙌

[@aratikulkarni]

Perfect timing, its my son's birthday today, I am going to make this tonight! Btw love your videos!

[@mariadelahuerta1482]

Thank you! can't wait to try this!! Yummy...

[@MaverickBaking]

That chocolate mousse is GENIUS! Thanks for the recipe :)

[@IvanIV05]

The way you made that mousse/ frosting surprised me :) The cake looks great, too.

[@guadalupetorregomez2287]

OMG.. I think Im gonna make it and add vegan vanilla ice-cream on top 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@reallifevixen]

Definitely trying this out!

[@annae.9006]

[@tylercairnes3400]

I would love to see your all's sun-dried tomato pesto recipe. or any sun-dried tomato recipes!

[@daisykurdi]

I love you guys

[@kityac9810]

I've never been a huge chocolate fan, but sweet Lord this looks good!!! I'll have to make this one.

[@thehappypear]

You won't regret it, Kitya!!! 😍🤤😜

[@KindleKindKel1]

I just learnt something new! I didn't know Baking soda needed an acid to rise!! Thanks guys 😊😊

[@kzvisualart]

wow amazing! great tip for the choccolate tnx 👍💕

[@2011Lean]

This cake is delicious. I did add an egg & got a 2&1/4" rise, but it doesn't effect that dedicate chocolate nutty almond flavor. Also in all my chocolate cakes & icings I add 1/4 tsp ea. of Cinnamon & instant coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor. Great recipe everyone should try.

[@andreaholden1956]

Looks AMAZING !!!! And it’s food like this that will help me stay vegan

[@KL-bg8fi]

I love Chocolate!

[@rachel9933]

This cake looks so good that I need to make it! However I'm allergic to nuts so I'm going to try using semolina instead of ground almonds, wish me luck! 😲

[@annae.9006]

I am SO making this today!!!!!! :D

[@mmaricler]

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@warerare]

looks delicious. We are hoping to travel around Ireland on a camping holiday next year and hope to stop by for an awesome meal :-)

[@SeanieDHC]

Amazing! Let us know if you need somewhere to pitch a tent. :D

[@warerare]

No doubt we will :-) we are hoping the weather is a bit kinder than we are used to in Wales.

[@gaiasoundandvision]

I made this a few days ago and it was absolutely gorgeous!!! I cheated a wee bit though ~ I didn't want to have to wait for an hour or so for it to bake and then cool, so I divided the mixture into 12 Muffin cases ;) and by the time I'd washed everything up they were ready to eat and they were sooo yummy! :)

[@teresaking4039]

yummy!

[@Rofloresc]

That cake looks awesome! 😍😍😍 I think I'm gonna bake it next sunday (as it is my cheat meal day 🐷)#fudgylicious cheers from Mexico City! Btw, you should come over here someday. Love you guys!

[@catherineogrady8773]

Looks Great. Will try it later. Greetings From IRELAND. 🥰🥰☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🥰🥰

[@gondvilli]

You guys are simply awesome. Lots of love from india

[@thehappypear]

Big love 😘😘😘

[@Mar-yh9jv]

HI! I have a question , does the chocolate mousse has to be prepared at the time of serving or it can be stored in the fridge. Great Channel! Kisses!

[@katerinapiwk8582]

How can someone dislike this video?

[@MudpiesandRainbows]

Looks epic lads minus the frosting actually healthier chocolate cake. Does the frosting melt? As in if you made it the night before would it hold its form? Thanks guys

[@camela5925]

I call the end piece!

[@mirjam971]

Fantastico! Bravi! ;-) To make it a kind of "lighter" or floffy do you think I could add acquafaba?

[@huguethrossel8997]

It'll be my birthday on the 30th, so I will definitely be trying this!.

[@thehappypear]

Ah brilliant happy birthday! Hope you enjoyed 😄👍🙌

[@andrealiepettersen9490]

Is the recipe from the Masterclass at MasterChef Australia where Heston made his chocolate mousse? I was amazed by the recipe, and so cool that you used it with this cake! :) Xx from Norway

[@miamiabelle]

YUMMY!! Btw. I really miss Elsie in the videos, she's always so cute.

[@thehappypear]

Ah she's a sweetheart! 😄👍

[@dawnlouiseh]

Awesome cake guys. What brand of chocolate could you recommend here in the uk? X

[@ngeexindi7762]

Trying out the recipe, the dough turned out to be in a thick consistency, it's in the oven baking right now, hoping it would turn out nice~

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Omg!!! 😋

[@colletteringie1142]

Who is making this cake?

[@fourtails1192]

Looks wicked :-)

[@fairelaine]

Looks so very delicious. I need to convert the measurements to something this American can understand before I try it. Silly Americans not using the metric system.

[@soyHayani]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@eskets3967]

I made it, it is delicious!!! Today I'll make the sweet potato and lime soup :p

[@thehappypear]

Ah you're brill! 😄🙌🙌

[@venusone1]

what exactly does it take to get a work visa in the Ireland? falling in love with Ireland because of you guys.

[@helenmacdonald5145]

Tammy Christine VenusOne i think after Brexit, we all want to move to Ireland! Cake looks fab.

[@jeanneamato8278]

OMG!!!!!!!!

[@tamcon72]

Avo-Free Chocolate Mousse Part II: Poundcake Frosting Boogaloo! Looks scrummy, and easy to throw together, into the bargain. TFP : )

[@tinytinymustrdseed]

Hey, guys when they say 'white flour of choice' does that mean i can use self raising flour and leave out the baking flour?? Looks yummy gonna get ingredients soon >..< thank you Happy Pear!!!!

[@samweasley182]

Could you use sugar instead of maple syrup? If so how much do you think?

[@marbitsy]

Made this for my fiance's birthday. It was delicious but I ran into a couple problems. The cake stuck to the bottom of the pan for some reason, even though I greased it (maybe grease it really well, use a liner, or add flour?) The chocolate never got to mousse consistency, more like pancake batter consistency, even after stirring it for a good 20 minutes and putting it in the fridge. I added more melted chocolate and it became a little bit firmer, but chunky (didn't add more water). When I put it on the cake, it ended up being fine, but didn't look very pretty! It tastes amazing though, and I felt like the issues I ran into were relatively forgiving.

[@daisyshirley9785]

Looks insane! Would a different liquid sweetener work in the place of maple? Eg honey or rice malt syrup?

[@2gooddrifters]

Honey isn't vegan.

[@aroundthefur75]

I just tried eating my screen

[@dkblck1958]

TFS that mousse/ganache would be even more decadent if you used heavy coconut cream and heated it instead of water...yum yum yum🍽🍽👍🏽👍🏽

[@inchekwa-xm8fd]

can we use hot milk of choice insted of water for the frosting?

[@thehappypear]

I haven't tried that before but give it a go! 😄😋🙌

[@shirenebrahaim3997]

Is the oven on 160 degrees? I couldn't hear it well

[@KristallStyx]

Baking Powder IS Baking Soda with a kind of acid like Citric Acid or Tartar. 😉 Otherwise it wouldn't release Bubbles and make the cake fluffy. Technically (almost) the same like Bath Bombs. Same reaction. 😊

[@jolaurie8707]

Maple syrup is ridiculously expensive here in New Zealand - could you suggest an alternative? Thanks

[@thehappypear]

Molasses, agave syrup, coconut sugar! 😄😋🙌

[@prisillaspace]

Fudgy! 😍😎

[@doyleciaram]

How does the chocolate not split when you melt it with water? I thought that if you are melting chocolate, you need to prevent water touching it.

[@thehappypear]

It's a fantastic recipe- defies everything you think you know! 😂😂 Try it out! 😄😋🙌

[@thecraft2091]

that's what I've always thought too

[@KathyInKY01]

I'm a fairly new vegan. Anybody have any recommendations on a good vegan chocolate here in the US? I REALLY want to try this recipe. LOL!

[@coletteoneill7339]

If you do not like Coconut Oil, what can be used instead?

[@thehappypear]

You can use a vegan butter instead colette 😊🙌

[@jocelynreyes8964]

Am not sure how to measure out the grams. I only have cups, teaspoon, and tablespoon. Can anyone help me with knowing how much flour, almonds, cocoa powder, and coconut oil in cups or other meaurments?

[@Neliciae]

j reyes try using like an online converter I always use when I'm cooking with limited measuring utensils

[@jocelynreyes8964]

Janeration Personal Okay, thank you!

[@barbaracraxton4650]

Totally wicked

[@thehappypear]

It's SO purely DECADENT Barbara!! 👌👌😍

[@barbaracraxton4650]

We had two slices each last night ...bad.

[@2JuliaG]

OMG! Baking pouder contains acid as well! Read the ingredients on the baking pouder package. Without acid the cake would not rise!

[@r0cket_girl]

I really want to try this but I'm allergic to almonds! What can I use as a replacement? :(

[@thehappypear]

Plain flour instead will be fine!! 😃🙌👌

[@r0cket_girl]

Thanks guys! Can't wait to try :D

[@gabri6763]

hello! do you use celsius?

[@SomeoneCool96]

Yes.

[@ZeNtAuRuSsS]

Could I add berries into the dough, or would that make it too moist?

[@megatuanis]

I would add chopped walnuts... :)

[@jacobsack]

i always prefer the batter

[@thehappypear]

🙌😍

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

Isn't it unusual to measure the coconut oil in grams?

[@bkgupta88]

Please mention the ingredients in written and in quantity. Can the cake be made by whole grain wheat flour?

[@PaulSmith-pf2uq]

INGREDIENTS 150g flour (of your choice) 100g ground almonds 25g cacao powder 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 150g coconut oil 250ml maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener) 1tsp vanilla extract 100ml rice milk (or other non-dairy) FROSTING 200g dark chocolate pellets 150ml boiling water handful ice + water in other bowl

Beautiful madness 😄👍🙌

Can you make vegan waffles?

[@beetsinmyhouse5988]

Wait what's tamari

[@tonibartling3844]

160 degrees? Not sure I heard right.

[@thehappypear]

Yes, Celsius! 😋😋

[@javontaadams2986]

160 degress Celsius of Fahrenheit?

[@niniem8071]

Javonta Adams 160° Celsius, it's 320℉

[@mellory2337]

I have a feeling that the brother in the ' you are pearfect' t-shirt is older.

[@megatuanis]

Older by how many minutes, I wonder? 😂

[@monicaogra]

Strangely mine turned out a wee bit too salty and the mouse just did not thicken. Next time, less salt and less water😅

[@patriciathoma1044]

Can i have some?

[@christinealdret1209]

Oh nonono I can' t see this 😜

[@isobel3436]

Anyone else watching this video for home ec?
