Moosewood: Deep Chocolate Vegan Cake

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this is exactly the recipe Michele in Chicago was looking for,

but it's a rich vegan cake, and it's from Moosewood, so I'm betting it's the

one. Enjoy!

<DirT> & #013; & #010;Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Generously oil an 8-inch square or

round baking pan and dust with a little sifted cocoa or line the bottom with

parchment paper.

</DirT>

<DirT> & #013; & #010;In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, 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.

</DirT>

<DirT> & #013; & #010;Add the vinegar and stir briefly; the baking soda will begin

to react with the vinegar right away, leaving pale swirls in the batter.

Without wasting any time, pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

</DirT>

<DirT> & #013; & #010;Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve the cake right from the pan

or, when it & apos;s cool, transfer it to a plate.

<Note> & #013; & #010;Loved by vegan and non-vegans alike, this extraordinary

popular & #013; & #010;Moosewood dessert can be made more quickly than any chocolate

cake we know. & #013; & #010;Use a stainless-steel or glass 8-inch round or square

nonreactive cake pan. & #013; & #010;For easy removal of the cake from the pan, oil

the pan and place a piece of & #013; & #010;parchment paper on the

bottom. & #013; & #010; & #013; & #010;Dust the top of the finished cake with

confectioner & apos;s sugar or prepare a & #013; & #010;glaze or frosting of your

choice. For some favorite vegan frostings, see & #013; & #010;pages 326 and

427. & #013; & #010; & #010;
