Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with baking spray. 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.

To prepare frosting: Beat vegan butter in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute.

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.
