Vegan Chocolate Cake

I’ve asked myself multiple times why this isn’t on my recipe blog, though I’ve made it half a dozen times.  It’s versatile, either cake or cupcakes.  I’ve even used it for birthday cakes before. It holds up well with frosting, stuffed with whipped cream for moon pies, covered in ganache, or plain with strawberries.

Chocolate and strawberries

Ingredients:

  • 3c flour
  • 2c sugar
  • 6T cocoa powder
  • 2t baking soda
  • 1t salt
  • 2c cold water
  • 3/4c veg oil
  • 2T vinegar (I like basamic, it adds a certain depth of flavor)
  • 2t vanilla

Whisk up the dry ingredients, add the wet. bake @ 350 for ~ 30-40 minutes.  If making cupcakes, start checking around 7 minutes.
