I had this cake at Moosewood back in 2004 (with the glaze) and was stunned at how good it was! No one would ever suspect that this dark, scrumptious cake is both egg-less and dairy-less. It's economical and low-cholesterol, and what's more, it goes i... More

Ingredients
  • Cake
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup cold water or brewed coffee
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • Glaze
  • 1/2 lb bittersweet chocolate
  • 3/4 cup hot water or milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt and sugar into an ungreased 8 inch square or 9 inch round baking tin.
  3. In a 2 cup measuring cup, measure and mix the oil, water or coffee and vanilla.
  4. Pour the liquid ingredients into the baking tin and mix the batter with a fork or small whisk.
  5. When the batter is smooth, add the vinegar and stir quickly. Pale swirls will occur where the vinegar and baking soda react. Stir just until the vinegar is even distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Set aside the cake to cool.
  7. If you are making the glaze, reset the oven to 300°F.
  8. Melt the chocolate in small ovenproof bowl or heavy skillet in the oven for about 15 minutes. Stir the hot liquid and vanilla into the chocolate until smooth.
  9. Spoon the glaze over the cooled cake. Refrigerate the glazed cake for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving.

This is great and similar to my one-bowl choc cake. I may replace my recipe with this one!


This stuff was nothing short of amazing. DON'T omit the vinegar--it makes the recipe!

I made it with whole wheat flour, and no coffee or milk (just water). I am now addicted.


AMAZING! Especially with the whole wheat cake flour mentioned above.


Loved it!!!! Better than I could have hoped for! I used an 8x8" nonstick with spray and it popped right out for me. I also used the Vegan Whole Wheat Flour and just cold water and it turned out de-lish! Next time I will try the cup of coffee or possibly some Mexican Expresso ;) I used a different vegan icing that I use on my cakes. This one is now my favorite chocolate cake by far. Thanks for the recipe!


I just make this cake and it is amazing! yumness, no one would ever guess its vegan, its so good thanks heaps!:)
