Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176 Celsius. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the ingredients with a whisk and then form a well in the middle of the bowl. Pour in the soy or almond milk, vinegar, eggs, brewed coffee, and dairy-free sour cream into the well. Use a blender to mix for about two minutes until the cake batter forms and there are no more flour streaks. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the cake batter into both of the cake pans. Remove any leftover batter by scraping the edges of the bowl. Place both cake pans in the oven to bake. Have the cake bake for about 30-40 minutes, until the cake rises and is fluffy. Remove both pans from the oven and have the cakes cool for about twenty minutes on a wire rack. Leave both cakes until they are cool enough to touch. Consider stacking both cakes to make a two-layer chocolate cake. Frost with chocolate buttercream frosting and/or decorate with any desired toppings such as berries, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, and sprinkles Slice the chocolate cake and serve on a serving plate. Enjoy!

Processed block cheeses that you can buy from the deli such as cheddar, provolone, low-moisture mozzarella, Colby Jack, and others are great for freezing. Whether you buy them from the deli or prepackaged, freeze these types of cheeses in small blocks, slices, or in a shredded format. These varieties tend to melt easily, so try using them in a cooked dish once thawed. Soft natural cheeses like brie can be frozen, but will often take on a grainy and watery consistency. Therefore, you'll only want to freeze soft cheeses if you'll be melting or cooking with the thawed results. If you want to spread a soft cheese on crackers, keep it in the fridge to retain its flavor and texture. It's typically okay to freeze soft natural cheeses as part of a prepared dish, since they'll melt during the cooking or reheating process. Keep varieties like cottage cheese, ricotta, and cream cheese in the refrigerator and use them up by the expiration date listed on the packaging. Similarly, avoid freezing any cheese that is typically stored in water, such as fresh mozzarella balls or burrata. Freezing will disrupt the delicate textures and flavors. Depending on the type of cheese, it will either become dry and chunky or weepy and watery once defrosted. It's usually fine to freeze these cheeses as part of a dish, such as lasagna or casserole. Cheesecake can be successfully frozen as the cream cheese has been baked.
