Poor Man’s Cake

Category: DessertsCollection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 3 cup flour
  • 2 cup vegan sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 12 tablespoon oil
  • 2 tablespoon vinegar
  • 2 cup water or coffee

Directions

Sift the flour, vegan sugar, soda, salt, and cocoa into an
ungreased cake pan. Make 2 wells in the dry ingredients.
Put the vinegar in one well and the oil in the other. Pour
the water or coffee over the whole thing and mix well with
a fork. Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until a
toothpick in the center comes out clean.

This recipe makes
a 13x9 inch pan; for an 8x8 inch pan, cut it exactly in
half. My mother used to make this for us kids, and it is one
of the best cakes I have ever had. I guarantee that even
your dedicatedly carnivorous friends won't be able to tell
that it's vegan!
