Directions
Combine chocolate chips and hot coffee in a large bowl; let stand for 2 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is melted, about 1 minute. Add oil, almond yogurt, applesauce and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
Add flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
To prepare frosting: Beat vegan butter in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add confectioners' sugar and cocoa, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary. Increase speed to medium-high and add water and vanilla, beating until smooth, about 2 minutes. Spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake. Chill the cake for 1 hour before slicing.
To make ahead
Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
