Chocolate Cake (Vegan) Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c. Plain flour
- 1/2 c. Sugar, (original recipe said 1 c., but it doesn't hurt to cut back a bit. Suit yourself)
- 1/3 c. Cocoa
- 1 tsp Bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt , (I usually omit without problems)
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 1 Tbsp. Cider vinegar, (Don't use too much)
- 1/2 c. Apple sauce, (original recipe said 1/2 c. of oil. the apple sauce works wonderfully!)
- 1 c. Water
- 1 Tbsp. Icing sugar
Directions
- Preheat over to 190 Celcius (360 F). Grease and flower a 20cm cake tine. In a mixing bow combine flour, sugar, cocoa, bicarbonate soda and salt. Make sure you get all the lumps out of the cocoa. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in vanilla, vinegar and apple sauce. Gradually stir in water. Avoid over stirring. Bake for 30 min or possibly till a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cold in tin on rack for 10 min then transfer cake to the rack to cold. Sift icing sugar over top and serve.
- Will freeze well.
- Notes: Using apple sauce seems to increase the cooking time so you may need up to 50 min to get it cooked through. Try to avoid over cooking as the cake is yummiest when still moist and is fairly boring when dry through. For which special treat, add in grated chocolate to the mix before cooking. Raises the fat content but we all need those special times.
