Amazing Eggless Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake

From The Clueless Vegetarian by Evelyn Raab

 

1 1/2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 cup water

 

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking

soda until well mixed. All at once add the vinegar, vanilla, oil and

water. Stir well, then dump the batter into a well-greased 8-inch square

baking pan. Bake at 350° F for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick poked

into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Let cool completely before frosting (if desired).

Yield: " 1 8-inch cake "

NOTES : Just because you don't eat eggs and dairy doesn't mean you

shouldn't have your chocolate cake (and eat it too). This one is so

perfectly normal, so absolutely delicious, no one will believe how easy it

is to make.

 

Non-Dairy Chocolate Frosting

 

1 cup non-dairy " pareve " margarine

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups confectioner's sugar

 

In a food processor, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the

margarine until smooth and creamy. Add the cocoa, vanilla, and

confectioner's sugar, and beat until very smooth and fluffy.

Makes enough icing for a two-layer cake.
