Ingredients
- 1/4 cup soy or almond milk
- 1/4 cup plus 4 teaspoons egg substitute
- 4 cups natural cane sugar (Sucanat)
- 1 cup canola, safflower, or sunflower oil
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 8-ounce containers Galaxy vegan cream cheese alternative room temperature
Instructions
- Mix together milk and egg substitute. Add sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract; beat on medium-high speed for 7 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add to wet ingredients and beat for 3-5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a deep 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and dust lightly with flour (tap to remove excess).
- Spread chocolate mixture evenly into pan. Whisk cream cheese alternative to soften (add a tablespoon or two of soy or almond milk, if desired), and then spoon on top of chocolate mixture, leaving 2-3 inches between dollops. Using a butter knife or spatula, swirl cream cheese alternative into chocolate batter in an “S” pattern to create a marbled effect (does not have to be precise).
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
