Vegan chocolate cake recipe

[Guest guest]

Traditional cake recipes rely on eggs for leavening, as well to provide richness

and texture to the finished product. In this vegan version, seltzer stands in

for eggs. No one who tastes the chocolate, gooey result will ever be the wiser.

 

 

Vegan chocolate cake

 

2 cups sugar

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon instant coffee powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

½ cup canola oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup seltzer

 

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt pan. If one is not

available, then use one 13x9 inch pan or 2 8 inch round or square pans.

2.Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix until well blended.

3.Add water, oil and vanilla. Mix at medium speed for two minutes, scraping the

sides of the bowl as necessary.

4.Pour in the seltzer. Mix for one more minutes at medium speed.

5.Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until done, when a toothpick inserted in

the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes, depending on the size

of the pan.

6.Allow cake to cool completely before transferring onto a platter. To glaze:

Combine ¼ cup confectioner's sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until sugar

is completely dissolved. Pour the glaze over the cake.
