Cake Ingredients
1 1/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (we used Hershey's Special Dark, only because that's what we had)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract (in last nights cake it was actually 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract because we ran out of vanilla)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp distilled white or apple cider vinegar (we used white)
Chocolate Glaze
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsp vegan butter
2 tbsp soy milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
Note: regular butter and milk works, too.
Preheat Oven to 350.
Grease or oil your baking pan (8x8in).
In a large blender bowl put in the water, oil, vanilla and vinegar.
(Start with the liquids first so the reaction between the soda and vinegar won't work together too soon.)
Then layer the dry ingredients on top of the liquids.
Then start up the blender on low and scrape down the sides. Continue blending till the mixture is smooth.
Then pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely (2 hours).
For the glaze, in a small saucepan, bring sugar, margarine, milk, and cocoa to a boil.
Stir frequently; then reduce heat to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir for another 5 minutes.
Add vanilla, stir, and immediately pour onto cake. Glaze dries really quickly, so spread it immediately and add any sprinkles now.
Let this cool for an 1 hour.
:D
