Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Thought I would submit a favourite family recipe! Fantastic (very rich) Chocolate Cake --1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour--1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder--1 teaspoon baking soda--1/2 teaspoon salt--1 cup sugar--1/2 cup vegetable oil--1 cup cold water--2 teaspoons vanilla extract--2 tablespoons vinegar Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift dry ingredients into 8 " square or 9 " round baking pan. Mix liquids (except vinegar) and whisk into dry. When batter is smooth, add vinegar and stir quickly, until it is evenly distributed. Put it in the oven, don't let it stand around (that has something to do with the vinegar) Bake for 25-30 minutes...or longer until ready. Great served with soya cream or make two and sandwich with vegan icing...mmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just whip until it is light and fluffy like regular cake frosting. The water lets is last longer anyway. You can use soy margarine also if you wish. I prefer either margarine(all vegetable or vegetable shortening) >> Thanks. =) We will try that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
