Dairy-Free Butter Alternatives

Your choice of vegan butter determines the success of your cookie cake. Here are some great options:

• Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks: They taste rich and buttery. They also produce visually appealing baked goods. They add a crispy, flaky texture to cookies.

• Earth Balance Buttery Spread: This spread is like regular butter. It mixes well with other ingredients. But it contains more water, so your treats may not last as long.

• Miyoko’s Cultured Vegan Butter: A top choice with a distinct flavor, but its design can make it tricky to use.

Egg Replacements

To use a flax egg instead of a regular egg, follow these steps:

1. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water.

2. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes to thicken.

If you prefer not to use flax eggs, try chickpea flour. Combine:

• 3 tablespoons of chickpea flour

• 3 tablespoons of water

This mixture replaces eggs one-to-one to bind and rise.

Choosing Chocolate Chips

The chocolate chips you use will affect your cookie cake’s taste. Here are some great options:

• Enjoy Life: Offers semisweet morsels, dark chocolate chunks, and mini chips. Great for those with food allergies.

• Equal Exchange: Fair trade chocolate with organic ingredients. Available in semisweet or vegan bittersweet flavors.

• Ghirardelli’s Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips are made from simple ingredients and have 52% cocoa. They strike a balance between sweetness and chocolate flavor.

  

Important: Dark chocolate chips might not always be vegan. Look for “dairy-free” or “vegan” labels. Store your chips in a cool, dry place to keep them fresh.

Step-by-Step Mixing Instructions

Let’s dive into the mixing process that shapes a mouth-watering vegan cookie cake.

Preparing the Flax Egg

1. Stir 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal in 2.5 tablespoons of water until well combined.

2. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help develop a gloppy consistency.

You can store the mixture in the refrigerator for about two weeks. A quarter cup equals one egg in recipes.

Creaming the butter and sugar.

To achieve the perfect texture, cream the vegan butter until it is smooth. Follow these steps:

1. Soften 12.25 – 14 oz of organic cane sugar.

2. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 to 5 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and creamy.

3. Add vanilla extract and non-dairy milk, mixing until blended.

Adding dry ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

2. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into your butter mixture.

3. Mix until combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a tough cake. If the dough is crumbly, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water.

Folding in the chocolate chips.

Fold the chocolate chips into the mixture using a silicone spatula with a light touch. Make sure they are evenly mixed.

Key Mixing Points to Remember

• Mix ingredients at room temperature.

• Ensure wet ingredients blend well before adding dry ones.

• The dough should be tender without needing extra ingredients.

• Fold carefully to keep the chocolate chips in place.

Now that you have the perfect batter, it’s time to bake!

Baking Tips for Perfect Results

The secret to a great vegan chocolate chip cookie cake is the mix of crispy edges and a soft center. Follow these tips for success.

Pan Preparation

Choose the right pan for your cookie cake.

• A 9-inch springform pan is best for easy serving.

• You can also use a 9-inch round cake pan lined with parchment paper.

  

Prepare your pan by:

1. Applying a thin layer of oil to it.

2. I recommend lining the bottom with parchment paper and adding cooking spray.

3. Dusting with flour for extra protection.

Place tart pans on a baking sheet for safety. Dark metal pans create crispier bottoms, while aluminum pans provide even baking.

Temperature Guidelines

Position the oven rack in the middle unless the recipe states otherwise. Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake: Vegan recipes usually need a lower temperature and a longer cooking time. This is because they use sugars and starches instead of dairy.
