I Meal Prepped Vegan Chocolate Cake and It Changed My Life!

Hey fellow vegan food lovers!

So, I did something a little crazy last week – I included chocolate cake in my meal prep. I know, I know, it sounds wild, but hear me out because it's been a game-changer for my easy vegan meal prep ideas!

Why Cake for Meal Prep?

1. Prevents impulse buys of vegan junk food
2. Built-in portion control
3. Major time saver
4. Instant mood booster (it's chocolate cake, duh!)

The Recipe: (This is so easy, it's almost embarrassing)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Mix dry ingredients
2. Mix wet ingredients
3. Combine wet and dry
4. Pour into greased 8-inch pan
5. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes
6. Cool, then slice for meal prep

Meal Prep Magic:

• Slice into 9-12 pieces
• Wrap individually (I use reusable silicone bags)
• Refrigerate for 5 days or freeze for 3 months

Keeping It Interesting:

• Monday: Plain cake
• Tuesday: Add vegan whipped cream
• Wednesday: Sprinkle with berries
• Thursday: Drizzle with vegan chocolate sauce
• Friday: Crumble over vegan ice cream (because, Friday)

The Results: Guys, this has seriously upgraded my meal prep game. Having a sweet treat ready to go has:

1. Saved me from impulse-buying expensive vegan desserts
2. Helped me portion control (no more eating half a cake in one sitting… not that I've ever done that…)
3. Made my co-workers super jealous (always a plus, right?)
