- 2 tsp baking pwdr
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 c. unsweetened Dutch cocoa pwdr plus
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened Dutch cocoa pwdr
- 1/2 c. maple sugar or possibly evaporated sugar cane juice
- 1 c. vanilla soy lowfat milk
- 1 c. water
- 1/2 c. canola oil
- 1 c. maple syrup
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp almond extract

Directions
- Line two oiled 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Whisk to mix.
- Mix the wet ingredients with a wire whisk till foamy.
- Pour liquid ingredients in to dry ingredients and mix gently but thoroughly till batter is smooth. This is a VERY THIN batter. Pour batter into pans, dividing proportionately. Bake on center rack of preheated oven 25-30 min or possibly till center of cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Cold cake layers in pans for 10 min, then turn layers out of pans onto cooling racks. Wrap the layers tightly in plastic wrap and chill before assembling the cake.
- NOTES : Fran made his cake in her demonstration, and I had a taste. It was definitely a great cake: rich, moist, yet light. So healthful cakes do not have to be leaden!
- This is a double layer cake and a little bit goes a long way. You could actually probably be satisfied with an even smaller serving.
