Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Posted July 31, 2001 Here is the *real* birthday cake I used for my toddler's special day that impressed both omnivores and vegans. I love the simplicity of this cake, most of the ingredients you have on hand for a quick chocolate fix. I got this recipe from <How it all Vegan>, a great vegan cookbook with a special area with kids recipes and lots of ideas for earth friendly cleaners. I recommend doubling the recipe if you want to make a round two layer cake or a large rectangle one. Auntie Bonnie's Wacky Cake 1 1/2 cups flour 4 tsp cocoa or carob powder 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup dry sweetener 3/4 cup soy milk 1 cup dry sweetener 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 tbsp vinegar 5 tbsp oil 1 cup cold water Preheat oven to 325* F. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the sweetener, vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water and mix together gently until " just mixed. " Pour into a lightly oiled cake pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Test with fork to see if done. When cooled ice and serve. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Posted July 31, 2001 This recipe looks easy enough. I'm confused about the amount of dry sweetener though--is it 3/4 cup or 1 cup? It's listed twice. Also, have you made it with whole wheat pastry flour or any other kind of flour besides white? Thanks.
