Black Velvet Cake. 🖤🐦‍⬛🍄‍🟫 A delightful dark and decadent creation. Adorned with marzipan mushrooms and green cake crumbs. It’s chocolate fudgy goodness is sure to delight even the darkest of souls ✨ 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup black cocoa powder 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1½ teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup coconut oil (melted)
¾ cup unsweetened applesauce 
1¾ cups sugar
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) 
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 cup very warm water
Black gel food coloring, optional
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prepare four 6-inch cake pans by greasing them and lining each with parchment paper. In a large bowl sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Add the coconut oil, applesauce, sugar, milk, and vinegar to your mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until well combined. Add in the flour mixture slowly. Mix until evenly incorporated. Stop to scrape the bowl as needed.
Turn your mixer off and carefully pour in the hot water. Mix the water in with a spatula or large spoon until the mixture is smooth (about 1 minute). At this point you can mix in a few drops of black gel food coloring to create the dark color you see in these images. (Recipe continues in pinned comments)
