A good Vegan cake recipe
Comments (4)I've had good luck with this recipe.... Deep Chocolate Vegan Cake 1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil (corn oil works well) 1 cup cold water or chilled brewed coffee 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 2 tablespoons cider vinegar Chocolate raspberry glaze (recipe follows) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously oil an 8-inch square or round baking pan and dust with a little sifted cocoa, or line the bottom with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar. In another bowl, combine the oil, water or coffee, and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well- blended and smooth. Add the vinegar and stir briefly. The baking soda will begin to react with the vinegar right away, leaving pale swirls in the batter. Quickly pour the batter into the baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Transfer to a plate when cool and glaze. Chocolate Raspberry Glaze: In a double boiler or small, heavy saucepan over a medium flame, melt 1/3 cup raspberry jam with 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and mix thoroughly. In another small saucepan mix 6 1/4 cups jam with 1 tablespoon water and warm over a low flame until the spread liquefies. Brush the water-fruit mixture over the top of cooled cake. Spread the chocolate mixture on top of that. Allow the glaze to cool before cutting the cake. Serves 8. Moosewood Restaurant New Classics...See MoreLOOKING for: Good Moist Basic Yellow Cake Recipe

Comments (29)Cindy, I'm not as WonderWoman as I used to be, since I am retired. It's much less busy than it was back when I was a single Mom with a full time job and still trying to help Dad farm. Just as well, I'm not sure I want to do it all any more, it's someone else's turn. Now I just want to do what I like, which is cooking and canning and farming! Thanks, AKgirl, but as you can see from my "failed bread" thread, I come here for expert instruction myself. I can tell you how to can venison or pluck a chicken or grow tomatoes, but darned if I can get that 100% whole wheat bread right. That's fine, I like a challenge sometimes. Angelaid, my husband and kids are spoiled so they'd eat it but they'd ask if I felt OK or if the oven was broke. (grin) Elery never baked much so I'm sure his kids would eat it without question, as would all of the grandkids on both sides of our blended family. I just like to bake, so I do.
