Since our minister is vegan, members have been creating special items in our pot-luck lunches. Here is a vegan cake that is very good:
Wacky Chocolate Cake (aka Vegan Chocolate Cake)
3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
6 Tblsp cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp salt
3/4 c. oil
2 Tblsp vinegar
2 c. cold water or coffee (I use decaf coffee)
2 tsp vanilla
Blend, by hand, the flour, cocoa,sugar, baking soda and salt.
Add oil, vinegar, vanilla and coffee.
Blend well. Pour into a greased and floured 9 X 13 inch pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for 35 - 40 minutes
Chocolate icing (off of the back of the Hershey Cocoa box with minor variations)
1 stick oleo (sometimes its called margarine spread, just look that it has no dairy or milk in it)
2/3 c. cocoa
3 c. powdered sugar
1/3 c. milk substitute (soy, almond or non dairy creamer all work well)
1 tsp vanilla
Melt oleo. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and 'milk', beating on med. speed to
spreading consistency. Stir in vanilla. I sometimes use the whisk attachment on my mixer if I want it less fudge-like.

This sounds very similar to the "Crazy Cake" I've made for the kids without the coffe of course. I think mine called for melted shortening instead of butter and no milk at all. I just pour hershey's syrup over the top for frosting. It's actually a very good pantry dessert too.
ReplyDeleteWill I have to go to church with you when I come up there? I like the idea of meeting your lefty friends just not sitting through a service.
You baked a cake?!!! It's like I don't know who you are...
ReplyDeleteHoly cow... did MOMCAT just post a recipe??? I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have spent the last several days with Fairooz. Am very sorry, though, that Elvis couldn't join him. Today I spent two hours wandering around a giant convention hall for the ACOG convention, gathering up free condoms and KY Jelly and bacterial vaginosis diagnosing kits, like a kid with a basket picking up what the Easter Bunny left behind.
Kipsy, I know... maybe you should drive down to make sure a doppelganger has not taken over her body.
ReplyDeleteI do need to make a Costco run...
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of visiting Saturday night and staying over for Mother's Day. We have a Decades Dance at school Friday night. I'll wear my poodle skirt I made that's actually a kitty skirt.
Gee, bacterial vaginosis diagnosing kits, what an exciting time you must be planning.
ReplyDeleteYou should see my new collection of vaginal itch wipes!!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to hear any more flak about putting personal medical stuff on the internet!
ReplyDeleteMomcat has a point there.
