Vegan Chocolate Cake

Vegan Chocolate Cake

When Elijah was little, he had a dairy sensitivity. We had to use Almond or Soy milk as a substitute in almost every recipe. We used this chocolate cake recipe many times, and it was incredibly simple and good at the same time.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water warm
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp distilled white vinegar

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 tbsp margarine
  • 2 tbsp soy milk
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In an 8X8 square pan/dish, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt with a fork, making sure it is really blended together.
  • Add the water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar, and again, mix together so that it's really blended together. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary.
  • Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
  • Cool on a rack completely (2 hours).

Glaze

  • For the glaze, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, margarine, milk, and cocoa to a boil. Stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It'll look gloppy, but it's just the bubbles! Remove from heat and stir for another 5 minutes.
  • Add vanilla, stir, and immediately pour onto cake. Glaze dries really quickly, so spread it immediately and add any sprinkles now. Let this cool for an 1 hour, if you can wait that long!
