I just found out that November is Vegan MOFO (Vegan Month of Food), which is great because I wanted to share some recipes anyway. Today, I want to share a dessert that a non-vegan friend of mine made and five years later remains my favorite vegan cake recipe. It is a Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting that is easy to make and absolutely delicious.
The Cake
Dry ingredients:
2 cups dry sweetener
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
egg replacer (2 eggs worth, i use cornstarch and water)
Wet ingredients:
1 cup soy/rice/almond/whatev milk
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tsp vanilla
Last minute ingredient:
1 cup boiling water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Add boiling water to mixed ingredients. Pour mix into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
The Icing
Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup soy margarine
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp soy/rice/almond/whatev milk
Combine all ingredients until smooth. Chill for half an hour and spread on cooled cake.
