Ingredients

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

2 cups vegan sugar
1 cup oil (vegetable, canola, etc.)
2 egg replacements (blended, not beaten)
1 cup plain soy or rice milk
1 cup hot coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup quality cocoa powder
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder and 2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 applesauce

Directions:

This is a recipe my wife modified to make vegan. It rocks!

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Lightly "grease" and flour two nine inch cake pans or one 9x13 inch pan. In a large bowl combine ingredients IN ORDER one at a time, mixing well a low speed after EACH addition. You can also mix this batter with a fork if you are careful not to let the cocoa powder leave lumps.

Pour into pans and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool and remove from pans. Let cool completely before adding your favorite frosting.

Serve one day after baking for best flavor...if you have the will power!
