These Chocolate Cake Bars are the best of both worlds, soft and light like cake and moist like brownies coming together simply in 1 bowl and vegan! 

Look out chocolate cake and look out brownies cause there’s a new cake bar in town and it’s about to knock your socks off!

Seriously though, if you love chocolate or cake or brownies or all of the above then you will LOVE these cake bars!

A few things to LOVE about these Chocolate Cake Bars:

• They are super soft and light like a chocolate birthday cake
• Moist and rich like a brownie
• Amazing the first day but even better the next day!
• Easy, only requires 1 bowl and VEGAN obviously. 

A Couple Tips when making these:

• do not over bake them, you want to keep a nice moist inside so using a tooth pick you want to poke the center and make sure it comes out 85% clean, you want some gooey on it because they will continue to bake once you remove them from the oven.
• cocoa powder, it must be unsweetened  and plain, no added thing to it.
• dust the cocoa powder on the top once they have cooled, if you do it while they are hot it will melt into the cake bars and look funny!

It’s doesn’t get much better than these my friends, so fix those chocolate cravings (we all have them, if you’re like me it’s all the time lol) and go make em’ ASAP!
