The Vegan Cake Thread

Forum vegans and intollerants rejoyce! and post your tried and tested vegan recipes here for all to share!

My favourite chocolate cake recipe is actually a wartime recipe. This makes a big cake or 2 x 8" 'sandwhiches' it stays fresh for a good few days if you can resist it that long and goes smashing with some vegan choc buttercream icing
You can buy measuring cups very cheap, i found the metric translation didnt work as well for some reason!!

Ingredients

* 3 cups flour
* 2 cups sugar
* 6 tablespoons cocoa
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup vegetable oil
* 2 teaspoon vanilla (or replace with orange for choc orange cake!)
* 2 cup cold water

Directions
Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients. Stir until smooth. Bake two greased, floured pans at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Makes two layers of a two-layer 9-inch or 8-inch round cake, or one small sheet cake. When cool, frost it.
Eat.
