Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share 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.
