I developed this recipe after trying many others - it is very rich and delicious!

SERVES 6 -8 , 1 cake (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped mixed nut (optional)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup cold water or cold soymilk
1/2 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons vinegar

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
Sift dry ingredients into 8" square or 9" round baking pan.
3
Mix liquids (except vinegar) and whisk into dry.
4
When batter is smooth, add vinegar and stir quickly, until it is evenly distributed.
5
Put it in the oven, don't let it stand around (that has something to do with the vinegar) Bake for 25-30 minutes or longer until done.
6
This cake is great served with soya cream or vegan ice cream.

I was skeptical but needed to make a vegan birthday cake. This was actually very good. I found the mixing of the batter in the pan a little challenging since it thickens so much, and I discourage trying to line the pan with parchment (as I did) because of the mixing process, but a very good recipe. I used yuzu vinegar from O Olive Oil which was an outstanding substitution.

This cake was awesome! A friend of mine at work knowing that I am a vegan, decided to make me this cake. I was surprised on how good it actually tasted. I thought it was a 'normal' cake, but she gave me the printed out recipe from this site. And not to mention its been an a long time since I have had anything sweet...lol..--Jen

This was great. Very moist. I used canola oil and chocolate rice milk and didn't add the nuts to make this friendly to people with dairy, egg, soy, and nut allergies. I made cupcakes and took them to a school function - they were a big hit with the kids.
