Vegan Chocolate Cake that everyone will love!

A while back, my wife was having sinus issues, and was trying to eliminate things for her diet to see if it would help. She went vegan.   At some point, an event came up, and a cake was needed..... And this is what I came up with after blending and perfecting all other recipes I found.
3 Cups Flour
2 Cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup oil
1-1/4 cup water
3/4 cup apple sauce.

Pre-Heat oven to 350.

1.  Blend dry ingredients in a medium to large bowl.  Blend well, we dont want to see and lumps of flour or cocoa.

2.  Add water, apple sauce, oil, vanilla and finally the vinegar.  Whisk together by hand, we don't need to use a powered mixer here... BE A MAN!

3.  Oil, and dust 9x14 cake pan with cocoa.  Pour in batter.

4.  Bake in over for 35-40 minutes, or until slightly firm and an inserted tooth pick comes out clean.

Enjoy!

I like to drizzle Agave Nectar on top (available at your local health food store) and then dust with powdered sugar!  Don't be scared of a cake with vinegar, its excellent.  This cake is safe for any vegetarian or vegan. Print this post
