   Unbelievable Vegan Chocolate Cake

   This cake is a beautiful thing; moist and dense; every bit as sinful tasting as any non-vegan chocolate cake could be. It is also extremely easy to make.

   2 cups sugar (I’ve used unrefined brown sugar, and beet sugar, successfully)
   1 3/4 c. flour
   3/4 c. cocoa powder
   1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
   1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
   1 tsp. salt
   Equivalent of 2 eggs substitute
   1 c. soy or nut milk
   1/2 c. vegetable oil
   2 tsp. vanilla extract
   1 c. boiling water

   Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round
   baking pans or one 9 x 13 square baking pan.
   Combine all dry ingredients in large bowl. Add egg sub., soy or nut milk, oil and vanilla. Beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin).
   Pour into pans and bake for 30-35 minutes (round pans) and 35 to 40 minutes for the square pan.

   Chocolate Frosting

   1 stick (1/2 c.) vegan margarine (I really don’t think oil will work in this)
   2/3 c. cocoa
   3 c. powdered sugar
   1/3 c. soy or nut milk
   1 tsp. vanilla extract

   Melt margarine’. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk, if needed. Add vanilla. Makes enough to frost a round 9″ layered cake or one 9″ x 13″ square cake.

   Peanut Butter Frosting

   1 cup natural peanut butter
   1/2 cup vegan margarine
   2-3 cups icing sugar
   dash of sea salt
   2-3 tbsp soy milk

   Place all ingredients in a bowl and beat until smooth. Chill for a half an hour before icing the cake (and make sure you cake is completely cooled). Should make enough for two round 8″ or 9″ layers or one 9″x13″ sheet cake
