Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
For the chocolate cake:
- 2 ounces cacao powder
- 2 ounces hot water
- 4 ounces egg yolk from about 6 eggs
- 7 ounces egg whites
- 2 tablespoon nondairy butter
- 5 ounces sugar divided into 4 ounces & 1 ounce
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the filling:
- 1 can vegan vanilla frosting
For the chocolate coating:
- 1 cup nondairy chocolate
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 17x11 inch pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the cacao powder, hot water, vanilla, and butter together.
In a mixer, whisk the egg yolks and 4 ounces of sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the chocolate mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add in the 1 ounce of sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the other mixture slowly to not lose the air.
Pour and spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake for about 15 min. Lay a damp cloth over the pan while it cools.
Once cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the cake. Cut the cake into 4 large rectangles and roll each so that they look like a swiss roll/hoho. Cut each in half so that you have 8 HoHos. Freeze while you melt the chocolate coating together. Pour over the swiss rolls and let harden before enjoying!
