Once upon a time, a long time ago, a recipe came forth for Chocolate Cake that seemed to defy all the traditional rules of baking. I don't know why it works, but it makes very nice chocolaty cake (or cupcakes, which I made for Easter dessert.) I'm thinking it qualifies for vegan, since there isn't any dairy, but I confess, I am not up on what is or isn't supposed to go into vegan food. Here's how it goes:
Crazy Chocolate Cake
2 1/4 c Flour
1 1/2 c Sugar
4 1/2 tbs unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
Whisk these together in your mixing bowl.
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 tbs vinegar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 c water
Whisk these together, then pour into dry ingredients, and mix well. Pour into greased 9x12 pan.
Bake 350* for 30 minutes.
I believe I reduced the amount of water for the cupcakes. Recipe above made 20 cupcakes.
